Year 4 – Firework Festival!

This half term, the children in year 4 have been reading the book ‘The Firework Maker’s Daughter’ and creating lots of amazing pieces of work surrounding it! We produced instructions on how to make our very own firework, described the setting in which we were having our adventures, and created a poster advertising our main event – the firework display!

To end our half term, all of the children worked in groups to create their very own firework display using dance, sound and art. They worked incredibly hard and the results were amazing. There was lots of onomatopoeia, dancing, glitter and ribbon, which created the most amazing displays. We are so proud of their hard work!

This has been an incredibly fun start to year 4 and it has been great to see the pupils so excited about their work and working so well together. Their use of team work and creativity has amazed us all and we can’t wait to see the rest of the hard work they produce throughout year 4.
