The children have spent yesterday and this morning talking about and exploring Bonfire Night. We have played instruments listened to the sounds they make to mimic the sound of a firework. We have talked about what fireworks look like. The children thought of excellent words to describe the appearance and sounds.
“Whoosh, bang, pop, sparkle, loud, high, bright, big, hot, huge, fizz, crackle”
We have painted fireworks in the night sky, crafted tissue paper sparklers and built/painted bonfires and danced with scarves to Katy Perry’s ‘Firework’.
The children finished off the morning by talking about how we can stay safe on bonfire night. I was so proud of how well the children retained information and were able to listen carefully to each other.
I hope you have a wonderful and safe bonfire night tonight.
