Guess the weight of the pumpkin!

6th Nov 2025

Mrs Gordon’s class have celebrated the end of this half-term in style.

We enjoyed a pumpkin themed day; first, by painting our own pumpkins and then by testing the strength of a pumpkin! Could the pumpkin withstand the weight of each child in our class? We found that YES it can (if we stand and balance carefully) but if we kick it very hard with one leg and lots of force… it finally cracked!
