Halloween

Halloween, the time of pumpkins, candies, ghosts, witches and much more, is annually celebrated on 31st October.That's the night before All Saints Day. Its origins date back thousands of years to the Celtic festival of Samhaim or The Feast of the Sun, a most significant holiday of the Celtic year. This day marked the end of summer but also the season of darkness as well as the beginning of the New Year on 1 November.

But at Colegio Europeo Almazán we're going to celebrate it a bit earlier this year. Next Friday 28th October the students of our primary school will be converted into witches, ghosts and zombies. Year 6 students are preparing lots of scary games to play. Watch this spot for our halloween photos. We'll publish the photos of the best costumes here!

Check out these Halloween games, stories and songs on the British Council website.
