Fireworks
This is a unit of two sessions linking to Bonfire Night. It has a simple narrative approach: the children imagine themselves on a dark evening, about to make their way through a crowded field towards the bonfire. They step carefully through the crowd, before beginning work on a dance called ‘Shooting stars’, based on careful hand movements and controlled spins.
