Half-Term at Home

If you’re staying at home due to self-isolating (as we are) or hiding from the weather, you can have a cosy Halloween half-term at home. Take a look at our Spooky Film Challenge – could you watch all 20 family Halloween films?

You could also do some Halloween crafts or baking. Izzy’s been busy making Pumpkin and Sugar Skull Bunting. Take a look at our 7 ways to celebrate Halloween Half-Term at Home (swap the spooky walk for a garden bat watch if you’re isolating!).

Happy Half-Term

Whatever you choose to do this half term, I wish you all a safe and happy week! Have fun all! xxx
