October 2020 - 3

Hi Everyone

Just some information, as you all know nursery will be re-opening on Monday 26^th October. This is Halloween week and even though the children will not be able to experience a normal trick or treat Halloween night I want them to have some Halloween fun at nursery. So, all that week the children are invited to come dressed in their best Halloween outfit.

Also get out the carving tools and get creative with the pumpkins for our “carved pumpkin competition”. There will be a prize for the most original design.

We will be learning some Halloween songs:

The Haunted House sung to the tune of the wheels on the bus

The ghost in the house goes boo, boo, boo.

Boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo,

The ghost in the house goes boo, boo, boo, on Halloween.

The steps in the house go creak, creak, creak……

The cats in the house go meow, meow, meow…..

The mice in the house go squeak, squeak, squeak…..

The people in the house go eek, eek, eek.

Eek, eek, eek, eek, eek, eek, on Halloween

And I’m a Halloween Ghost to the tune of I’m a little teapot

I’m a Halloween Ghost,

I see you.

Floating around as I like to do.

Float up to the ceiling,

Saying “Wooooo”,

Turn around and then I shout “Boo!”

I’m a Halloween ghost,

behind you.

I’m rather pale,

and quite see through

When I try to scare you,

I’ll say “Wooooo”.

Make you jump up when I shout “Boo!”

The following week will focus on firework night and we will be doing some firework crafts and songs:

Bonfire night is here again to the tune of London bridge is falling down.

Bonfire night is here again,

here again, hear again

Bonfire night is here again,

It’s November

Firework number rhyme: use five fingers and count down to 0

Five pretty fireworks

Zooming way up high

1 went bang

And lit up the sky

See you all next week
