This is a special week. The students are getting together with students from other groups and the older children become teachers of the younger children for one day. It is also a special week because next Friday is Halloween, which is an important holiday in some of the English speaking countries, like the US.

Halloween is celebrated the Eve before the Christian holiday of All Saints and it begins a period of time in which people remember the dead.
Typical festive Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, attending costume parties,decorating, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted house attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.

In our last lesson we spent the first hour preparing activities for the younger children we got together with after the break. Also students practiced how to be teachers. They did a very good job and the little children who came to our classroom learned a lot of things with them. They learned about Halloween and the strange creatures we may encounter on this holiday: witches, ghosts, werewolves, vampires, etc.

At the end of the class we went trick-or-treating and got some candy.

When the small children left, we reviewed the homework and some of the students had the chance to play a game about the weather.
