Pumpkinhead Writings

How my head became a "PUMPKIN HEAD"

This was a 30 minute "FREE WRITE" non instructed activity. I believe that sometimes we need to just let the kids have freedom with writing. Mrs. Nash  

 

One Spooky Night

By

Toyo  

Today is Halloween and my friends and I were trick-or-treating for  candy. We suddenly  hear footsteps and they went "clunk, clunk, clunk." We ran into a haunted house with spooky pumpkins. I knocked on the door. What do you think happened? A pumpkin answered the door: that pumpkin was creepy but polite. Then a witch came and our heads got turned into pumpkin heads. When we got home our mothers and fathers said "What happened to your heads?" When we went to bed something strange happened to us.  I just can't tell you what happened.  Tomorrow I looked into the mirror and what do you think happened?  My face was normal again!  In fact, I was feeling great.

The witch and my grandma.

When my grandma was a little girl she went to a graveyard. Then something came out of the gravestones.  It had a pointy hat a broom to fly on and a black cat. But it had a pumpkin head. It was a witch! Then before my grandma could think the witch turned her head into a pumpkin head too! And with an wink of an eye the witch got warts,  then they were gone. My grandma was at the witches house with a ghost going "boo" at her.  Then there was the witch and she said "Would you like a trick or a treat?" My grandma meant to say treat, but she said "trick".  Then she was all of a sudden in a haunted school.  She walked and walked and then there in front of her was an owl and a bat.  She was back at home with a pumpkin head.  How do I know?  I have it in my pumpkin noggin, but I'll be watching you... Ha Ha Ha. The witch!  Poof!  "I have warts! AAAAAAHHH. Come back here little girl." "Mommy." "Come, come at my house little girl!" Poof! "Would you like a treat or a trick?" I said "Treat". Poof! I'm at home. Yah! Yah! Yah! Candy is all over my room. 

   The Witch Wart

One scary night ,I was out trick-or-treating all by myself. Then I came up to a school. It looked regular,but I had never seen it.  I thought to myself,"Should I go in or should I stay out"?  I decided to go in.  It had a lot of spider webs and it looked like a witch's den.  I saw a witch girl beneath the window.  She looked scared.  Then she popped up and said "do you want to see my mother?"  She seemed nice so I said "Yes." She took me along a path and before I got to say another word, we fell down and landed in a graveyard. I looked around.  I did not see anything, but then an ugly witch appeared.  She said she would eat me in a few minutes, at first I didn't believe her.  I tried to run just in case, but she held onto me.  I must warn you.  She had very sharp nails.  In fact, they were so sharp that my head popped off like a bottle cap.  I was so scared. HA HA HA. With a wink and a stamp, my head changed into a pumpkin, and that's how my  head changed into a pumpkin.

One Halloween Night

Brenna  

One Halloween  night I went trick-or-treating with my friend Maya. We did not go to all the doors but one we did. Finally we got to that door. We heard  someone laughing it sounded like this "Hoooo  ha ha ha ha ha". We slowly opened the door "crrreeak" and out jumped a mad scientist.  He grabbed me right a way .He  pulled  me  in  his  lab.  Then he put me on a bed and made me sleep for a second and then I was awake again.  The mad scientist gave me a mirror and said " Look at yourself in this mirror."  So I did.  To my surprise my head was a pumpkin! "What did you do to me?"  I asked.  "I transformed you," he said.  "I will be famous for this.  In fact, I will rule the world!" "Your so sure, huh?!" I said.  "Why am I even talking to you?"  he said. He was really a she.  She took off her mask and she turned out to be my mom "Wake up, sweetie.  It's time to go to school."  It was my mom she was there too! I said "what are you doing here?" "I got caught too," she said. So he came into the room again and said it's time to change bodies again. "OH NO!" And that was the end of me! The end!

The pumpkin head pumpkin headed me

One spooky after noon on Halloween me and some friends

went trick- or-treating. It looked like there was a rope tied to a flower and in the middle of the rope was a pumpkin. A cat jumped off the fence and landed on the rope.  I ran down the street.  The pumpkin rolled down after me.  I ran into a graveyard. "WOOO" went the wind. I heard footsteps behind me, it was a witch! The footsteps went "clunk, clunk." In the graveyard there was a house.  I knocked on the door of the house.  Standing on the other side of the door was an old man and I said "Trick-or-treat". The man gave me two pieces of candy.  I threw one piece at the pumpkin and the other at the witch. The pumpkin flew all the way and landed on my head.  But then I woke up.  It was all a dream!  The pumpkin landing on my head was really my mom patting my head trying to wake me up. Next to the bed I found a pumpkin. 

Why my name is Evan Pumpkinface

Evan  

One scary night, when me and Mr. Pumpkinhead were

walking down Haunted Avenue, me and Mr. Pumpkinhead

wanted to check out the haunted house.  But when we opened the door..."BOO!" A ghost tried to scare us.

But it didn't scare us.  Instead, it blew off Mr. Pumpkinhead's head.  And, SPLAT! It hit me right in the face.  I couldn't get it off so it would be on forever. And that’s why my name is Evan Pumpkinface.

The great pumpkin Sarah

By

Sarah

On the last night of October,[Halloween] me and my friend Sid were going trick or treating together. I was a mummy and Sid was a witch. Anyway, we were out trick or treating when a truck with it's back open drove by. "That's odd." I remarked. And as I did, a glass can of some sort of green ooze fell out of the open back of the truck. It fell with a "SMASH!" And the ooze leaked out. "Look at that!" Sid shouted as we both ran into the street to check it out. We both peered over it, especially me. In fact, I was peering so far, something touched my back, and to this day I don't know what it was but it pushed me head first into the ooze. My face was covered in it! When I stood up, Sid gasped. "Sarah, your head has been turned into a pumpkin!" She whispered. I pulled out my pocket mirror and sure enough my head had been turned into a pumpkin.  It stayed that way. And that is the end of my tale.  

One Halloween

By

Ella

One Halloween I was with a chicken and I was carrying a pumpkin. I went into a graveyard. When I set the pumpkin down the pumpkin started to get closer and closer. The next thing I noticed, besides a robber, was my head turning into a pumpkin. My eyes changed, my nose changed, my mouth change and my hair changed. "BOO!" It was Mr. Pumpkin head. He gave me a fright. "BOO!" It was my black cat. "BOO!" IT WAS A WITCH! We all screamed, even Mr. Pumpkin head screamed.  She looked familiar then she took off her hat and it was a joke.  It was a dad with a broom and our black cat.  So I said, "Let's go before we miss Halloween."  So when trick-or-treating was over, a mummy appeared.  This time it was not a joke.  It was real.  Then I gave the toilet paper and I pulled it and he spun and spun, but this time it was not real.  It was my mom.  The end.
