How to carve a pumpkin

On Monday we carved a pumpkin. We then wrote a procedure explaining how we did it. You can follow our procedure if you would like to carve your own pumpkin.

How to carve a pumpkin

Equipment needed:

A spoon

2 knives (one big and one small)

A marker

A pumpkin

A bowl

A small candle

Matches or a lighter

Safety tips

·      Ask an adult to help you when using the knife

·      Ask an adult to light the candle and put it in the pumpkin for you

Steps

1.  Draw a circle on the top of the pumpkin

2.  Using the big knife cut along the outline of the circle and take the top of the pumpkin off

3.  Take out all the inside of the pumpkin using the spoon and put them in a bowl (these can be later used to make pumpkin soup)

4.  Draw a face on the pumpkin with a marker

5.  Use the small knife to cut out the face

6.  Get the small candle and light it. Then put it in the pumpkin

A tour of room 9

Open the door, come inside and take a look around our classroom...

Here are some of our displays

This is our class computer. We love logging on to reading eggs.

 We have lots of interesting books in our library. We have DEAR time at 10.35 everyday.

Our Fitzee shop is open every second Friday. I wonder what everyone will buy next Friday?

 This is where we hang our coats.

We have four table groups;

 an bord gorm, an bord glas, an bord bui, an bord dearg

If we get our work done we like to go to the library.

We have circle time here too

 We also have a task table which we can  go to when we have completed our work.

Thank you for looking around our classroom!
