Halloween
for giraffes?
It's Halloween on the 31st of October. One tradition
is to cut a face into a pumpkin. ZSL London Zoo
gives the animals pumpkins! But we're not sure if
Maggie the giraffe likes it or hates it!
-'
Eeek!
There's a bear
on the train!
Passengers* on the London Underground
are shocked. Why? Because there's a
polar bear on the platform!
But don't worry* - the polar bear is a
puppet*. It is for a new TV programme
called Fortitude. The programme is
about a town in the Arctic with
715 people and 3,000 polar bears.

RALL
The 31st of October is Halloween. It's the third most
popular festival in Britain, after Christmas and Easter.
But what do children in Britain really think about it?
And what do they do?
CROWN talks to three British teenagers
ESM14
CROWN: Do you like Halloween?
Esmee: I love Halloween!
CROWN: Do you wear a costume at Halloween?
Esmee: I usually dress up. I wear a ghost* costume.
CROWN: What other Halloween traditions do
you do?
Esmee: Every year we make a Jack-o'-Lantern:
We buy a pumpkin and cut off the top and scoop*
out the inside. Next we place a candle inside the
pumpkin and put the pumpkin on the front doorstep*.
I like telling scary stories with my friends too!
