This week we have started our new topic ‘Let’s Celebrate’. We used our talking and thinking box to explore different items related to different celebrations. The children talked about different celebrations they have attended such as birthday, Christmas, Easter, Halloween etc. It was lovely to receive photos on ClassDojo of different family celebrations.
This week, we have been learning about the Autumn celebration ‘Bonfire Night’. The children made beautiful firework pictures using paint and glitter. We also listened to the sounds of different fireworks and used our bodies to move like different fireworks. We liked moving fast like rocket fireworks. As part of our work around Bonfire night we talked about the importance of keeping safe around fire and fireworks. We talked about ways to keep ourselves and animals safe.We talked about how it is important to always check for hedgehogs when building a bonfire. We made our own salt dough to make little hedgehogs. We are going to build homes for our hedgehogs next week as we have also been learning about hibernating animals.
Over the next few weeks we will be learning about celebrations from around the world.
