STAYING SAFE DURING FIREWORKS

The children at Houston EL&CC have been learning about fireworks and how to be safe whilst firework displays are taking place. Some of the children were excited to be watching the fireworks from their home and a few were having fireworks of their own. At Houston EL&CC the children were using powder paint outside to create their very own firework displays. Discussions took place about how to stay safe whilst watching fireworks. Inside the children were using salad spinners to make firework pictures and some children made their own rockets using some a variety of materials. There were lots of Rocket Races taking place in the garden and children were measuring how far their rockets flew. There was a special snack in store…the children made popcorn to recreate the popping sound of fireworks. They listened carefully and chatted about how loud fireworks could be. Then of course they ate some delicious fresh popcorn.
