Halloween Party Afternoon - October 1979

Newbold Verdon Primary School
Halloween Party Afternoon For Year 4 – October 1979

These pictures were all taken in October 1979 during a Halloween party held in the classrooms of Ann Burdett & Pete Rayers.

Games were played such as retrieving chocolate from flour and biting into apples covered in chocolate and buckets of water. Everyone wore their swimming hats whilst taking part as well as wearing smocks used for painting.

In this picture Pete Rayers with Year 4 pupils of 1979/1980.

In this picture Michelle Hammond is in the background with Michael Boulton overlooking Darren Downing.In the front with the red top is Tanya Astill.

In this picture from left to right: Jane Griffin, Graham Preston, Johanna Hayes biting into a chocolate covered apple, Andy King, Neil Cody, Yvonne Beck with I think Paul Langton in the background.

Clearly featured in this picture are Karen Freeman, Sharon Coles, Darren Downing and Graham Preston in the background. Overlooking Karen and Sharon is Michelle Hammond. At the opposite end of the table is Paul Langton with the cream jumper, Alison Wadsley and Nathan Vesty leaning over.

Simon Lane retrieving an apple from flour.

Teacher Ann Burdett without glasses! I can clearly remember her doing this, everyone was shocked at seeing her without her glasses and the speed at which she went gung-ho into the flour.

Jane Griffin and Karen Freeman watch on as Michelle Hammond attempts to bite into an apple in a bucket of water. Yvonne Beck is seen in the background to the left of Karen.

Michelle Hammond, Tanya Astill and Simon Lane watch on as Richard Lewis bites into a chocolate covered apple. Karen Shaw is seen blindfolded awaiting her turn with Ben Heath behind her. In the background to the left is I think Paul Kendall with flour on his face with Karl Southwell keeping clear.

Many thanks to Ann Burdett for all of these photos.
