Children learn Makaton signs for Fireworks and Danger!

The children have already experienced some Sparklers this morning on Bonfire Day. They all learnt the Makaton sign for ‘Fireworks’ and ‘Danger’ as Danielle showed them how to be safe and careful, putting them (the sparklers!) in a bucket of cold water when she had finished. The children made some lovely comments as they watched. Liam said ‘They go in the sky!’ We talked to them about being safe and they were so excited to see and smell the sparklers. They also practised some gross motor movements linked to early handwriting skills such as large circles, up and down and zig zag movements.

Happy Firework Night…remember to keep your children safe.
