On Monday 26th October a group in the Blackstone enjoyed doing investigations on our home grown pumpkins.

Our investigation included;

• guessing the size of our pumpkins
• how many lines where on the outside of it
• will it sink or float
• the amount of seeds inside it – we where totally surprised that the smaller pumpkin( carved face) had 485 seeds; nearly twice as many seeds as the larger one ( carved into a ghost)  which had 262 seeds.

Staff then helped to carve the pumpkins into the shapes we liked the best.
