EYFS - UTW / CL Diwali and Bonfire Night
Class: EYFS (F1) Preschool Year: 2026 - 2027
This week in Early Years, we have enjoyed learning about two special celebrations: Diwali and Bonfire Night.
We talked about Diwali, the Festival of Lights, and learned how families celebrate by lighting lamps, decorating their homes and spending time with loved ones. We discussed how light is an important symbol during Diwali and shared our ideas about different ways people celebrate special occasions.
We also enjoyed learning about Bonfire Night and talked about the exciting fireworks display in Widnes. The children shared their experiences of watching fireworks with their families and described the colours, sounds and shapes they could see in the sky. In fine motor, we made firework shapes in glitter.
As part of our learning, we created our own colourful Bonfire Night pictures, using a variety of materials to represent the bright fireworks. We loved experimenting with different colours and patterns to create our artwork. in PE, we moved like fireworks to music.
It has been a wonderful week of exploring different celebrations, sharing experiences and learning about how people celebrate around the world. Well done, EYFS.
