Bonfire Night and Guy Fawkes

 This week in the EYFS we have learnt all about Guy Fawkes and why we celebrate Bonfire Night! The children loved learning about the Gunpowder Plot and were fascinated by the gunpowder being hidden underneath the Houses of Parliament! 

We did lots of firework themed activities this week including: making firework art, drawing marks in loose tea and rice to look like fireworks in a night sky, supporting us with our early mark making. We used scratch paper and stencils to make firework patterns, had a firework playdough station and even had fun getting messy with shaving foam and bubble wrap to replicate some of the noises that fireworks make - snap, crackle, bang! 

It's been a fantastic way to kick off a brand new term!
