Halloween stories

I read the above poem to the children and they loved acting like leaves dancing around in the wind. Samuel wanted to be a tornado - Lucy wanted to dance. They then wanted to make their own poems and stories - here they are - dictated from the children's mouths.

Samuel wanted to write a Halloween story - here it is - and Lucy's version after Samuel dictated his to me.

The First Day of Halloween
by Samuel Noonan

There was a frankenstein. There was a zombie and a bat and a witch. There was a vampire. They all had a Halloween party with a big cake. They sat down at the big, big, large table and took a slice of cake. Then they went outside and raked and raked and raked the leaves. And then there came a ghost and he said, "Can I join in?". "Sure" cried the witch, "Sure", cried the bat. "Sure" cried frankenstein. "Sure", cried the zombie.

Then the ghost joined in. They played "Put the hat on the witch". Kind of like pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey but you try to put the witch's hat on the witch. The End.

Frankenstein by Lucy Noonan

A witch was inside her house. And then the zombie came in and said "Can I play with you witch?" The witch was having a Halloween party. Then Frankenstein said "Can I join in?" And then a ghost showed up. And asked "can I join in?". The witch said "Yes!" When the bat showed up "Can I join in?" And the witch and the zombie and frankenstein and the ghost said "yes." And a vampire showed up. And then he said "Can I join in?" And the ghost and all of the people who were at the party said "Yes!" And then the ghost got in. Then a ladybug showed up. And then another vampire showed up and they played games and ate cake. The End.
