Witches and Wizards

The Petworth's school of Witches and Wizardry provided some more Halloween magic. The children had an absolute ball making their very own magic wands which they used to make snow followed by a bit of experimenting with creating potions.  The ingredients were so nicely presented in all sorts of colours, textures and descriptions.  It really got the kids' creative juices flowing.  This is a good idea for a birthday party or even just play date entertainment!

Nicholas joined Olivia for Group 64's Halloween holiday project.  He remembered when he did a similar activity, Wizard of Oz, with Phillipa last summer.  Reflecting on my own feelings, I thought he would be nervous doing acting with mostly strangers, but it didn't phase him in the least and he really seemed to enjoy himself.  They put on a great performance called The Happy Ghost and His Hauntings.  Experiences like this can only be good for these kids!
