Spooky Creative Fun: Year 7 and 8 Design Pumpkins for Halloween!

Our lower school students have been diving headfirst into the festive spirit this week with some brilliantly eerie art sessions. Students from Year 7 and 8 enjoyed a spooky morning designing a pumpkin ready for Halloween, showcasing an incredible amount of imagination and team spirit.

Turning the Haven rooms into a festive workshop, the group used modelling materials and their creative skills to create a unique design on each of their pumpkins. Rather than sticking to traditional carving, the students experimented with textures, 3D shapes, and eerie patterns to bring their spooky visions to life. From terrifying monsters to classic, grinning jack-o'-lanterns, the sheer variety of the final products was a testament to their fantastic artistic talents.

It was a joy to see the students collaborate and share ideas throughout the session, and they thoroughly enjoyed the activity from start to finish.

The fun doesn’t stop at school, either! They will take their pumpkin home this week, all ready to decorate their homes for 31st October 2026. Keep an eye out for these fantastic creations decorating doorsteps and windows in our local community this weekend.

Well done to all the Year 7 and 8 students who took part—you have truly set a wonderfully spooky mood for the half-term break!
