Activities
Outcomes
Children:
Ask children about light sources they use at particular times of the year eg fairy lights, bonfires, fireworks, Halloween lanterns, lights at religious festivals. Talk about the time of year and time of day these are used and why eg firework displays take place at night when it is dark.
recognise that lights eg bonfires, fireworks, candles, show up best when it is dark and that they can see these because they are light sources
Points to note
SAFETY - Night lights and stubby candles are almost impossible to knock over. All naked flames are best used in a metal tray eg baking tray filled with dry sand. Children should be kept away from flames.
