This month, in preparation for Hallowe’en, our role play corner transformed into a Witches’ Den. We had great fun dressing up as witches and other creatures, writing spells and potions and making potions using spider webs, creepy-crawlies and other disgusting ingredients.

On Friday, we all got to dress up in our Hallowe’en costumes and had a great day of fun and games. To finish off our theme of the witches’ den, we made some real witches’ potions and made them bubble over using vinegar and baking soda. We also made a lava lamp using oil and water, food colouring and made it come alive using an effervescent tablet. The kids really enjoyed these science experiments.
