Reception- Remember, remember the 5th of November

Date: 5th Nov 2024 @ 8:22pm

Today the children in Reception have been participating in lots of different 'Bonfire Night' themed activities.  Firstly we learnt about why many people celebrate Bonfire Night including learning about the story of the Gunpowder Plot.  We talked about the different traditions we have with our families including going to a firework display, lighting sparklers and enjoying a bonfire.  The children enjoyed making their own Bonfire Night pictures using a range of different meduims and materials. collaging rockets and using loose parts to make transient art pictures.  Outside the children were practising their fine motor and physical skills by making firework pictures in our mark making area.

As a class we also discussed the importance of keeping ourselves safe during these exciting celebrations.
