This week in Art, we created some spectacular firework pictures using black card and a wonderful selection of colourful chalks in different shades and thicknesses.

To get our creative ideas flowing, the children watched videos of exciting firework displays and talked about the beautiful colours, patterns and shapes that light up the dark night sky. We were amazed by the bright bursts, sparkling trails and colourful explosions!

In our writing lessons, we also became firework poets! The children had great fun creating their own firework poems, using lots of exciting adjectives and onomatopoeic words to bring their writing to life. Words such as banging, crashing, crackling and popping helped us to imagine all the sights and sounds of a spectacular firework display.

The children had lots of lovely ideas to share and were excited to talk about the different firework displays they would be enjoying over the next few days. We certainly brought a little fireworks magic into our classroom!
