Bonfire Night
On Tuesday we looked at bonfire night and both the fun and safety of it. We began by watching a video of fireworks at different places in London and how adults do them. We learnt that only an adult can handle a matchstick or lighter to ignite a firework, and everyone else should be standing back including any pets.
Our extension on this was the children drawing their own fireworks with some paint, glitter and splatter utensils. In groups the children took turns dipping the splatter in the paint and then hitting it on the black paper for it to stand out more. They really found this fun and intriguing to take part in.
