Halloween Fun with the Lower Juniors

As part of our Celebrations theme this term, the Lower Junior students have enjoyed learning through Halloween based activities and had lots of spooky fun dressing up and celebrating Halloween!  It was lovely to see how kind they were to their friends when visiting each other’s classrooms for trick or treating.
