Most of the older students knew a lot about it, but it was an opportunity to clarify some points and refresh their memories! As for the younger students, we simplified the story a bit in order for them to understand and not being intimidated.

Maybe one of the best ways to easily learn and remember new vocabulary is listening to songs. We listened to a few of them and here are some of our favourites:
Our last, but not least, activity was to decorate our classrooms. We coloured, cut and hang our decorations, and we also made Halloween masks, jack o' lanterns and treat baskets to use on our Trick-or-Treat visits!
