ON THURSDAY October 15, the children of Floreat Montague Park Primary School celebrated the upcoming harvest with an extraordinary pumpkin day.
First, we went into a room full of pumpkins and did observational drawing. The pumpkins were all different colours, shapes and sizes.
There was a stripy, green pumpkin and an enormous, orange one!
After that, we picked pumpkins grown at Floreat’s own pumpkin patch and we took them to Mr Pritchett (our headteacher) in the soup room.
In the afternoon, we helped chop up some of the ingredients for the delicious pumpkin soup.
We got to try raw garlic but we did not like it because it was very spicy on our tongues.
We finally tasted the scrumptious soup and Mr Pritchett made a toast to the harvest.
We had a great day celebrating harvest and we can’t wait to grow more pumpkins in 2021.
