Lights, colour, explosive action!

FUN WITH FIREWORKS!           
The week got off to a noisy start with watching and listening to recorded fireworks displays! Then we painted and out came the glitter!

It was great hearing the children utter words like "Bang!", "Up! Up!", "Whoosh!" as they made brush strokes to produce stunning pictures! 
                                        



LIGHT AND DARK
We had an enormous dark tent in the classroom and we loved using the torches to explore up high and low, as well as in the very dark corners!





The children's attention was captured and they looked closely as they investigated. The light box was also great for looking at different objects and combining colours.

TIME TO MAKE SOME SOUNDS AND GET MOVING!




We played lots of instruments to find ones that made sounds like fireworks. 
The giant bubble wrap made lots of popping sounds when when knelt or stood on it!


                                                                   

We launched rockets from the giant parachute after a noisy countdown for blasting off!


Next week... we will be finding out more about power - battery and electrical as we go on a walk around our school. We will also be discovering how magnets behave!
