Strange Halloween

 

       No nos hemos podido resistir a tener nuestro día de Halloween, quizás con un repertotio de actividades menos vistosas que años anteriores pero con el espíritu de Jack O´Lantern merodeando las aulas del Tomás Hormigo. 

 

     No story telling by ghostly older students, no horror passageways, no monster-shaped cakes, team-worked carved pumpkins... most of the most horrifying activities programmed for this holiday annually have been avoided because of the reasons we are already sick  of speaking about. 

 

     But the creation of scary facemasks brought some shadows (and also colour) to our school: our students project consisted of the design of a fearful mask which was introduced by a video describing its process of creation and the inspiration for it (legends, movies...); some of the best masks were awarded. Also some of our students were allowed to wear a special dress code on Friday.

    The different areas programmed diverse activities with Halloween as central topic, from O.V. films and series episodes in English, to music according to the day in music or a "dark" gymkhana to make our little monsters sweat during P.E. lessons.
