Last week was Halloween and in some Spanish cultures, that means Dia de Los Muertos! Dia de Los Muertos, or, The Day of the Dead, is a happy holiday which celebrates the passing of friends and family with yellow flowers, sugar skulls and remembering the dead with their favourite food and drink.

Both grades four learnt about the Day of the Dead. We made small "sugar skulls" out of salt dough (the sugar wouldn't stay together!) and we got to paint them in whatever colours we wanted. The children loved working with the salt dough and creating a skull.
