Halloween is one of my favourite times of the year as everyone seems to be getting crafty and creative. My children love it when we're driving around and they can spot Halloween decorations. Some people create incredible pumpkin designs.
As spiders are appearing in lots of windows as part of their Halloween decorations, we thought we'd add them to our Life Cycles topic. They're actually quite fascinating little creatures.
Find them here:
Did you know a group of spiders is called a clutter of spiders? Spiders are fascinating creatures to learn about all year round, but with spooky season upon us, they're even more popular!

Diwali is an exciting holiday for children, whether you are learning about it or celebrating it yourself. There are plenty of opportunities for fun, creativity - and crafting!
If you are celebrating a harvest festival, thinking about Thanksgiving or simply enjoying the fruits of autumn, you might want to include a pumpkin project with younger children, either at home or in an early years setting.
Learning about Diwali with young children is a great way of recognising different beliefs and cultural practices.
