They started by reading the story 'We're Going on a Pumpkin Hunt', before going on their own hunt in the outdoor area. After finding all the pumpkins, lots of mathematics took place. The pupils counted them, before ordering them by size and weight. They then sang their own pumpkin patch rhyme to the tune of 'Five Buns in a Baker's Shop' and the 'Five Little Pumpkins' rhyme. Each pupil brought a pumpkin into Pre-School and they predicted what they might find inside it, before exploring for themselves. The children also enjoyed mark making on the pumpkins, alongside some pumpkin themed maths and play dough. They had lots of fun making pumpkin soup and the pupils enjoyed helping chop a variety of vegetables, including lots of pumpkin, before being given the opportunity to taste their culinary delights! Our Pre-School pupils concluded their 'Halloween and Pumpkin' themed week by arriving at school dressed in their fancy dress outfits. They all looked absolutely fabulous! **Tags:** [infantsandjuniors](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/infantsandjuniors) [2021-2022](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/2021-2022) - [ previous](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2021-11-01-first-year-pupils-celebration-of-talent-concert) - [next ](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2021-11-01-national-poetry-day-2021) - [Mission Statement](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/mission-statement) - [Latest News](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news) - [History of KGS](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/history) - [Location & Community](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/location) - [Term Dates](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/termdates) - [Statutory Information](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/statutory-information) - [School Policies](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/policy-documents) - [Calendar](https://calendar.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/week.aspx?ID=158) - [The Kirkhamian](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news-1/the-kirkhamian) - [The Friends of KGS](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/thefriends-of-kgs) - [Old Kirkhamians' Association](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/old-kirkhamians-association) - [Hire of Facilities](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/hire-of-facilities) - [Vacancies](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/vacancies/our-vacancies) ## Kirkham Grammar School ## Kirkham Grammar Junior, Infant & Pre-School Ribby Rd Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BH Tel: **01772 684264** Email: Ribby Road Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BD Tel: **01772 673222** Email: [![HMC Leading Independent Schools](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/hmc.png)](https://www.hmc.org.uk/)[![Boarding Schools' Association](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/bsa.png)](http://www.boarding.org.uk/) © Copyright 2019–2026 Kirkham Grammar School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
