Fantastic Fireworks!
Fantastic Fireworks!
This week we've been thinking about fireworks! We worked hard to think of interesting vocabulary to describe the way fireworks look, sound and move - and we've even added some similes! Then we used our wonderful words to create firework poems. Take a look at some of our super work!
We've had a lovely time making firework pictures by cutting out black building silhouettes and drawing firework shapes in bright oil pastels.
We've also printed some of our firework shapes using twisted pipe cleaners dipped in paint.
We've been learning about our five senses this week. We were very brave and did a blind 'taste test' of different foods. We've also explored our sense of hearing, smell and touch.

The children have all had such a wonderful time learning about Diwali.
Over the past few weeks we have written about the fun festival and have designed and made our very own diva lamps. We've made Diwali cards, put on puppet shows and created beautiful mehndi and rangoli patterns. After making decorations, we enjoyed a huge Diwali party on Friday to celebrate!

In Year 1 this week we've been learning about Victorians. Today we came to school dressed as Victorian children and had a 'Victorian day'.
The children had a wonderful time exploring all the artefacts and completing jobs in the Victorian house!
