October 31st is Halloween. Where does Halloween come from? The Celts lived in Britain, Ireland and parts of France over 2,000 years ago, and October 31st was the end of their year. The Celts believed that ghosts came back to earth on this day. Today many people around the world celebrate this old festival - but today people usually have parties, dress up, and tell spooky stories about witches, skeletons, bats and ghosts.

Here is the first part of the song.

I’ve got a mouse
I play with every day
He runs across the mat
And his tail is long and grey
He doesn’t like cheese
He likes playing games
He’s not afraid of cats
He hasn’t got a name

He’s my computer mouse
He’s my double click, single click
Run around the mat computer mouse
Left click, right click, double click. OK!
