Our workshop:) First add in English

Halloween workshop was taking place from 28th to 30th October in Mladinski centre Postojna and about 30 kids in age between 6 -12 were participated.

Our 3 days Halloween workshop started with short scary video which gave us the real Halloween atmosphere. After video we introduced ourselves and program for whole three days.

During the first day we were preparing Halloween decorations for the final party (ghost from balloons, magic caps for drinking, decorating of spider net) and we were creating invitations for our final party for parents.  After the first day we had very nice decoration in our ,, Halloween room” and children gave invitation to their parents.

The following day we were lucky, because weather was really good so we could carve pumpkins outside. And one surprise was waiting for all of us! We were not alone, we had special visitor - national television channel! The children were really excited and lot of them gave interview to television.

After they could choose their own pumpkin and they could start. For some of them it was quite difficult, but finally all of the pumpkins were amazing. They had big motivation- competition for the most beautiful pumpkin. After carving the pumpkins we moved to our Halloween room and we started to prepare our scary costumes. Children could choose if they want to be Witch, Ghost or Dracula. They were also motivated by the competition for the best costume so most of them were working really hard and made amazing costume.

 The most important day was the last- third day. The main task for the children was to create and prepare Halloween food and to prepare themselves for the final costume parade.

Some of children were finishing with their costume- especially girls, because they wanted to have the best costume. The rest of children were preparing scary bananas, cookies, mandarins, bloody fingers, special red drinks and a lot of different scary food things. Children really enjoyed this task and they were really creative. Maybe the worst thing for them was that they couldn´t eat it because they had to wait for the final event.

Children were really exciting. For most of them it was the first “fashion show” so they were a little bit nervous. But they were amazing. Parents came and the fashion show could start. Everybody was amazing! Their eyes were shinning and they enjoyed every moment. After costume exhibition parents voted for the best pumpkin and the best costume. But kids they didn’t care at this moment of anything else but the Halloween cookies, because finally they could go and eat their sweets, monsters bananas, and so on. When parents finished with their voting they also enjoyed party with their kids. Everybody was smiling and had fun. 

But our wonderful scary workshop was going to the end so our final event was the award ceremony. Children got prices and took their pumpkins and in their masks they were going home.

I would like to say thank you to all volunteers and all people from Mladinski center Postojna, because without their help our workshop couldn’t exist.
