    Once a year, things get seriously competitive at Marlborough… and it’s all about pumpkins! Our staff get creative with their carving skills, while students help supply the materials, and the results are always wonderfully weird, wacky and imaginative! This year’s four entries certainly didn’t disappoint! We had a fearsome wolf, a beautifully themed Halloween table setting with a pumpkin centrepiece, and then there was Mr Trump, forever campaigning. And if Mr Trump didn't bring enough drama, check out first place! This gritty masterpiece came complete with a jagged grin, red eyes and massive shards of "bloody" glass exploding right out of its head. Straight out of a slasher film and absolutely worth the win. #MarlboroughScienceAcademy #PumpkinCarving #HalloweenFun #SchoolCommunity #CreativeStaff #PumpkinCompetition #housecompetition
