Autumn Term - Bonfire Night
Reception have been learning about the English celebration of Bonfire Night. They listened to the story of the Gunpowder Plot to help them understand why this celebration takes place each year.
They talked about Bonfire Night celebrations and discussed how to stay safe around fireworks and bonfires. The children enjoyed using sparklers and were excited to watch the sparks and patterns they created while following safety rules carefully.
They have been exploring the event through a range of exciting digital experiences. The children have been creating colourful firework pictures on the iPads, using different tools and effects to design their own dazzling displays. 🎇
They have also been using our VR headsets to experience a virtual firework display. The children were fully immersed in the experience and enjoyed looking all around them as the fireworks lit up the sky. This helped to bring their learning to life and gave the children a unique way to explore Bonfire Night celebrations. 🎆
