I was delighted and amazed at the creativity and talent shown in last year’s pumpkin carving competition.  It is definitely my favourite house contest of the year!

The rules are fairly simple:

• This contest is designed for children to work with an adult (knives are sharp!) AT HOME to carve a pumpkin.
• Pumpkins are then brought into school on Thursday 23^rd October and will be displayed in the classrooms.
• The pumpkins will be judged by Mr Arthur and a ‘guest judge’.
• The winner in each class earns 5 house points for their house, 3 points for second place and 1 point for third.
• The house with the most house points across the school will win the coveted house trophy.
• Prizes will be awarded on Friday 24^th October in assembly.
• Pumpkins MUST be collected on Friday and taken home!

Good luck everyone and I look forward to seeing the entries!
