This week, we have been learning about Bonfire Night and discussed why some people celebrate it. The children enthusiastically shared their own experiences of watching firework displays and talked about the exciting shapes, colours and sounds they had seen and heard.

After watching videos of spectacular fireworks, the children created their own colourful firework pictures. They were introduced to a printing technique using paint and a selection of cardboard tubes that had been pre-cut with different patterns. The children enjoyed exploring the process and experimenting with a range of colours and designs.

The children also took part in a second firework-themed activity to further develop their fine motor skills. Using scissors carefully and safely, they cut around bun cases to create beautiful firework shapes. They then arranged and stuck their creations onto dark paper to make a vibrant, firework-filled night sky.
