Throughout the week the kindergarten kids experienced so many special events and activities that helped get them into the spirit of Halloween. There were science experiments that involved ooze and flying ghosts, spooky stories, pumpkin decorating, and exciting carnival games!
Let's take a closer look at all the festive and fun activities this week:
Halloween Carnival:
It is a school tradition that every year in late October, all Upper School students work together to present an all-school carnival for the Middle and Lower Schools. Carnival provides an opportunity for all Upper Schoolers to work collaboratively on a school service project and to have fun designing booths and decorating. The kindergarten kids had a wonderful time playing the games and collecting candy!
Spooky Science:
The kindergarten kids got to make clay volcanoes with the Upper School students. Listening to the kids squeal with excitement as their volcanoes erupted was very fun! (Live videos on the Roycemore Kindergarten Facebook group page).
Ghost Rockets:
This week the students created flying ghost rockets. To make the ghost rockets we used film canisters, corn starch, alka seltzer tablets, and water. After carefully following the directions and combining the ingredients, we quickly put the lid on, flipped the rocket over, set it down, and watched the ghost rocket immediately go flying into the air!

Halloween BINGO!
Fizzy Science
The kids had fun using pipettes to suck up the orange vinegar and squeeze it onto the baking soda. Not only is it great practice for fine motor skills but the chemical reaction is so exciting to watch!
Teacher Costume Design:
When students are asked "What Should My Teacher Be For Halloween?" their answers never disappoint! This Halloween activity was so much fun for both students and teachers. It was amazing to see the students’ imaginations run wild with this fun Halloween project!
Pumpkin Decorating:
What would you like to turn your pumpkin into? A scary witch, lion, superhero, or seal?
STEM Challenge: Jelly Pumpkin Towers
The kids loved creating, designing, engineering, and building structures with candy pumpkins!
