What a great start to the term! We have started our new topic on Celebrations and Festivals by celebrating Bonfire Night! We watched a firework display on the whiteboard before going on a walk of the grounds to find sticks. We used these to build our own bonfires in teams, before enjoying a nice hot chocolate! We then thought about why we put Guys on top of the fire and made our own.
