Spooky Night Drawings

We created these fantastic 'Spooky Night' drawings today using soft pastels (aka chalk pastel). I gave the kiddos pretty much free reign as long as the drawing was a spooky night theme and I loved how creative they were! 

I showed them my example first (above), plus this one found on Pinterest and we discussed what other details we could include. Then we revisited how to use chalk pastel (the end like a pencil for sharp lines, the side for shading and adding large amounts of colour). 

We have created a few different types of these this year and it is amazing how far their skills have improved, particularly with using the whole page and adding lots of detail. So proud of my kiddos!

Five for Friday~ Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween Friday! We have had another epic week. Very glad it is Friday! Linking up with Kasey from Doodlebugs to share what we've been up to.

This week we have studied spiders, if you couldn't tell :) The kids loved our spider web carpet which I made Monday with some masking tape, inspired by my friend Stef from Miss Galvin Learns.

We made these super easy Spider hats. I found the idea via Pinterest from MamaOT. 

A gorgeous class Mum made these delicious spider cupcakes and these super fun and messy popstick spider webs with pompom siders.

We also made Frankenstein's from Deanna's Halloween unit which I found through Mel's post.

Plus we made our My Little Monster books. Just click on the link or pic to download.

Wishing you a fab weekend,

Halloween Freebie!

In preparation for Halloween I have added this cute "My little monster" mini-reader to my store. 

The mini-book is 8 pages each with a different colour word instruction for your students on each page.

Halloween Flash Freebie & a Sale

Gosh, I'm posting two days in a row and actually found time today to make a new product for my store. Neither of those things have happened in months! Hopefully this is a good sign of things to come :)

Has anyone else also spent a far chunk of today going through their wishlist on TpT? The sale is amazing & so is the celebration of TpT reaching 100, 000 followers on Fb.

I haven't put my store on sale as well because I have been busy finishing my Happy Halloween Bookmarks to put in my store.

I will put this up as a Flash Freebie for the next 10 minutes or so. If you do download please leave me some comment love.

Wishing you a great week,
