We have enjoyed learning about and celebrating several Special Events and Festivals including the Harvest Festival, Diwali, Bonfire night and Remembrance Day.
It is always fun and engaging to learn about things that the children can relate to and that prompts them to share stories and experiences with us. As soon as fireworks were mentioned, planned registration times were abandoned and the children excitedly took over telling us about their own bonfire nights, some remembering the cold, some remembering the sounds and colours and some children telling us how they enjoyed watching them through the window.
Working together for a successful harvest. 
Making diva lamps that we used to decorate our home corner. 
The children decided they wanted to blow out the candle as we learnt about Diwali 
Making our own firework pictures 
Using party poppers to think about the sounds fireworks make. 
Can we put out the fire…??? 
Taking turns to develop our own Bonfire Night. 
What are we creating with our combined handprints..? 
We were extremely proud of the children as we tried our best to sit quietly and think about brave people who have helped us to be safe. The children were rightfully very pleased with their hand print poppy.
