This week we have been busy learning about bonfire night. We have talked about the shapes, colours and noises of fireworks as well as learning some basic fire safety.
After talking about what we might see at a firework display it was time to get creative. I always look for ideas that enable children to create their own work without me guiding and taking away their creativity and I loved the idea of the cutting the toilet roll to make fireworks for this reason. Some of the children kept their colours completely separate, others piled the paint all over the paper and one child created one large circular firework!
We then set about making our bonfires. We lined some fire colours up on some black paper and the children used their sponges to make a fire pattern all over their paper. We then discussed how the fire needed wood to burn and the children collected some sticks that they then stuck onto their pictures to make the fire base.
