Children and families enjoyed the thrills and excitement of our firework display this week. It was a real sensory experience: sounds, sights, smells as well as the feel of the freezing air on our skin! Families joined us in the garden for our morning and afternoon display. Most children shared they had heard or seen fireworks from their homes and some had been lucky enough to see the Fire of London display in Victoria Park on Sunday. Our display wasn't quite so spectacular but Isabel scored it 10 out of 10 (and she had been to Victoria Park!) Children watched carefully, chatted excitedly and counted down each time we lit a firework. Many children were aware of the danger of fires and fireworks and staff supported this understanding further, explaining how to keep safe around fireworks. The countdown to Christmas is on!
