Firework Fun in Class 3 

It has been lovely to see our youngest pupils come back to school so eagerly this week. They were keen to share lots of stories about their half term, and many of them had been to firework displays and wanted to share their experiences with the class.

To build on this enthusiasm, the children enjoyed an afternoon of creating 3D models of fireworks. They used their fine motor skills to thread beads onto pipe cleaners, carefully building their designs as they went. Alongside this practical activity, pupils were encouraged to think about the rich vocabulary associated with fireworks, such as whizz, explode, cracker and whoosh. Learning these words through a hands-on creative task helps pupils connect language with real experiences.

Every pupil should be proud of what they made. Well done to Class 3 on your wonderful firework models. Your creativity and hard work really shone through, and I was delighted to see such fantastic results.
