Our Halloween project! ( Part 1 )

Halloween was really special this year as we decided with the students of B2 class to organize a super Halloween project with many different and interesting activities!

To get us in the mood we watched a presentation on Halloween, we discussed the traditions and supestitions behind this festival and  we talked about the symbols of Halloween, one of which is the pumpkin!

We read the very famous children's book '' The Ugly Pumpkin'' by Dave Horowitz. (Luckily, the book arrived on time from the U.S.A.)

You can order the book here.

The ugly pumpkin is actually the story of a pumpkin that wasn't loved or...bought by anyone during the Halloween because of its weird shape! The other characters of the book, among whom skeletons, witches and haunted trees sneered at ''him''  and as a result he felt alone and miserable.

Fortunately his luck changed when he bumped into a garden full of peculiar pumpkins just like him! This made him realize that he wasn't a pumpkin but a squash. In the end he finds many friends that love him just in time for Thanksgiving!
