Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween - from Room 4 Junior Infants

Halloween is an important day in Irish culture. Evolving from the ancient Celtic holiday of Samhain, modern Halloween has become less about literal ghosts and ghouls and more about costumes and candy. The Celts used the day to mark the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, and also believed that this transition between the seasons was a bridge to the world of the dead.  Over the millennia the holiday has become a day of merriment, costumes, parades and sweet treats for children and adults.

We dressed up.








We carved a pumpkin.




We sang songs and made Rice-Krispie buns in with our friends in room 3 and room 5.







We made funny masks.






We had lots of fun! :)
