The Halloween event that took place on the 1st of November was unique from what was seen before, from a special set of games in the main yard to a newly created Spooky Corridor! This event had all of the tricks and treats needed for a successful Halloween party, and the Year Sixes who organized this event had some serious tricks in store for the school…

Disorder in the School Corridors! 

“It was scary, like, not for babies”

“It wasn’t childish. That’s what made it fun”

The most popular game, the Spooky Corridor, converted rooms 20, 21 and 22 into a bad dream (not like they weren’t one already)…

This horrifying game left people CRAWLING (literally) out of the door from fear, and screams of terror could be heard from across the school. Students were piled up in front of the entrance of this attraction as if it were a concert and to be honest, it was as hectic as one. Nevertheless, everyone enjoyed themselves, apart from our hardworking Year 6 class – who despite creating nightmares for the students all evening, now also have nightmares from the smell of the classrooms after the party. Apologies to the English teachers! 

Candy Comas…

Candy, candy and more candy. From the amount of candy that was eaten at the bake sale the previous day, to the candy eaten at the party, you’re lucky you don’t have the immune system of a Victorian child because you probably would be dead by now! From gummies to chocolate everyone was winning delicious prizes, turning tokens to treats while their parents watched in disgust. That was their Halloween nightmare. Despite the overindulgence of candy, other food was sold as well such as pizza and popcorn, and everybody loved it: 

“a piece of that fresh pizza was so good”

“The food was very fresh, very tasty”

We actually had good food at a school event? It’s a miracle!

The Treats, Not The Tricks…

It seemed that despite the spooky corridor and its undeniable attraction, people were also enjoying the thrill of the smaller games which actually gave you a treat rather than a trick. From the photo booth and the witch hat ring toss, to pinning the bowtie on Mr Bones, everyone was having fun with their friends. One of the highlights of this event, the escape room, had its share of frights but also had its share of suspense, as groups of friends rushed to find the key to the door before time ran out. 

Nonetheless, everyone who went was sure to have a good time, where feedback from some of the students included how ‘It was way better than last year’, (sorry 2024 graduates) and how it was a ‘10/10’ event. Let’s hope the Year 6 class maintains this status, because if so, this year’s events are guaranteed to be unforgettable!
