Firework Night

As part of our topic about Festivals, we have been learning about Guy Fawkes Night. We talked about being safe with fireworks and we made some sparkly firework pictures. We have as special dark space in the playroom where we have been exploring light and darkness with some fabulous lights and torches. We even have a night time race track with remote controlled cars with real head lights to light the way in the dark.
