We learnt a little about the origins of bonfire night along with a quick message from the fire service about keeping safe. We decided a fireworks display in the garden was not a good idea….but a bonfire, well that’s a different matter!
In our first celebration of the Sparkle and Shine half term, the children collected wood before talking safety and lighting the bonfire. We watched the flames flicker, smelt the strong odour as the smoke rose, and listened to the fire crackle and snap before enjoying a sing song round the fire followed by hot chocolate and marshmallows. A shared experience rich in sensory experience and fun, lots to talk about and reflect upon.
