Today In the garden we created some firework pictures in preparation for bonfire night this weekend.
The children selected some paint and resources that they could spray and splat. We picked a selection of different spray bottles and pipettes to spray at the large plastic sheet and create our firework picture.
The spray bottles and pipettes helped us to develop our fine motor skills. We demonstrated good skill when filling them up and spaying them.
We then used the paint and sponges to throw the paint at the ground to make splats that resembled fireworks. This was a good way to get our bodies moving and develop our gross motor skills while being creative.
While we were painting we talking about fireworks and how we can stay safe. These are some of the children’s comments. 😊
“You don’t touch the fire”
“Fireworks and very hot so you need to stay away”
“They go in the sky”
“Only adults do the fireworks”
