Filton Avenue Nursery School has been celebrating Bonfire Night this week with special experiences across all rooms.
Acorns Room children enjoyed toasting bread over the fire, watching the bread change colour and texture whilst learning about fire safety and the transformative power of heat. The room shared hot chocolate and biscuits, creating a cosy community gathering around the fire. This memorable experience helped children understand seasonal traditions whilst developing their understanding of how fire works and the importance of staying safe around it. The sensory experience of feeling the warmth, seeing the flames, smelling the toasting bread and tasting the treats made this a truly multi-sensory celebration of autumn festivities.
Beech and Willow Rooms also celebrated Bonfire Night with a special fire experience in the garden. The children gathered around the fire with adults, learning about fire safety whilst experiencing the sensations of heat, flickering flames and warmth. This memorable seasonal activity helped children understand traditional autumn festivities whilst bringing the nursery community together.
These fire experiences across all rooms provided wonderful opportunities for children to engage with seasonal celebrations, learn important safety messages and enjoy sensory-rich experiences that support their understanding of the world around them.
