  • 🎆🔥What a fantastic week celebrating Bonfire Night in EYFS! 🔥🎆 We've had so much fun exploring all things Bonfire Night in Nursery and Reception through lots of exciting, hands-on activities! We've made our own sparklers using sticks and colourful ribbons, created delicious edible sparklers using breadsticks and chocolate, and experimented with a range of materials to create our own firework-inspired artwork. From pipe cleaners, chalk, glitter and glue to splatting paint, we've explored lots of different ways to make our fireworks burst with colour! 🎨💥 We've also been making marks in the sand to create our own firework patterns and using our scrubbing skills to wash away painted flames. These activities have provided fantastic opportunities to develop our fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, mark-making, creativity and sensory exploration. Alongside all the creativity, we've been learning about why we celebrate Bonfire Night and developing our communication and language skills by talking about the sights and sounds of a firework display. We've been using lots of wonderful descriptive words to explain what we might see and hear on firework night! 🎇 A week full of creativity, curiosity, sensory exploration and meaningful learning, all while having LOTS of fun!

  • 🔥🎶 Pondhu's Bonfire Disco! 🎶🔥 What a fantastic time we had at our Bonfire Disco! The children had a brilliant time dancing, singing and enjoying the party atmosphere. 💃🕺 A particular highlight had to be the amazing rendition of the Macarena, with KS2 and staff showing off their moves! We think there may be a few dance stars among us! 😂 A huge thank you to everyone who helped organise and support the disco. It was lovely to see so many happy faces and everyone having such a great time. A brilliant evening of fun, laughter and dancing! 💙
