THERE was some eerie excitement at Sandiway Primary School during half term when pupils were given a ‘spooky’ surprise.

 

Children at the school’s multi-skills club were presented with pumpkins from The Hollies Farm Shop, at Little Budworth, to turn into ghostly works of art in time for their Halloween fancy dress party.

 

Mair Strawbridge, Acting Headteacher of Sandiway Primary School, explained: “We are so grateful to The Hollies for donating the pumpkins, which gave some added hubble, bubble, toil and trouble to the holloween party.  

 

“Many of the children may not have had the chance to work with pumpkins before so it was a great opportunity for them – and they came back with some scary designs.”

 

During the two-day club, more than 30 children took part in a range of activities including netball, football, bench ball, and musical games before finishing off with a Holloween fancy dress party.  

 

Mindy Cowap of The Hollies added: “Our family has been growing pumpkins for almost 50 years and this year we have harvested more than 4,000.

 

“We always encourage youngsters to grow their own pumpkins where ever possible and it was great to be able to show the kids at Sandiway Primary just how fun pumpkins can be!”
