The children in the nursery have all been very excited today about seeing fireworks tonight. The children all had a discussion about where they were going or what colours might light up the sky tonight and of course they discussed how to stay safe tonight with the fireworks; staying wrapped up, having gloves on, keeping sparklers away from their face and staying far away from the firework displays!
With all the excitement about fireworks, the children had the chance to create their very own firework pictures. The children used glitter paint and a variety of utensils to replicate the fireworks exploding in the sky. The boys and girls also created their own rockets using collage and discussed what sounds the rockets would make. The children had the opportunity to participate in a science experiment. Using a plate of milk, dropping in 3 different colours of food colouring and holding a straw in the middle with a little bit of washing up liquid on the end of it, created the illusion of fireworks on a plate.
