Hi,
As Halloween is coming, I planned for this week practical exercises in making Jack-O-Lanterns. Unfortunately I got sick and we are unable to do it together, so I've decided to put the instructions of how to do it here followed witha little film about it. I hope you will try to use the instructions on your own and bring some photographs of your Jack-O-Lanterns to class.
See you next week.:)

You need:
1 short, sharp knife
1 dessert spoon
1 teaspoon
1 candle or tea-light
Plenty of newspaper to protect work surface
Large bowl for pumpkin seeds and flesh

Step One:
Cut a circular hole around the stalk.

Tilt the point of the knife into the centre of the pumpkin.
This will stop the lid from falling in.

Step Two: Scoop out the seeds and any loose flesh using the dessertspoon and the knife if needed.

Step Three: Sketch the face onto your pumpkin. Use a biro so any mistakes can be scrubbed off with a scouring pad or fingernail.

Step Four: Carefully cut out the features. Take small cuts and use a puncturing motion rather than a slicing one.

Step Five:Gently scrape away the flesh on the inside of the face until it is only 1cm thick.



Step Six: Using the knife, mark a circle the size of your candle or tea-light in the centre of the base.

Step Seven: Carefully hollow out the marked area with the teaspoon.

Step Eight: Place your candle in the hollow, light it and replace the lid of your jack-o'-lantern.
