I’ve been helping clear parts of the garden and tonight we had a big bonfire to get rid of all the garden waste.

Learning Opportunities:

• We talked about how material burns and turns to ash.
• We watched the little bits of ash float up to the sky and then cool and fall back down.
• We observed different colours in different parts of the fire.
• I noticed that some things burn quicker than others, and some material (like metal) don’t seem to burn at all.
• We listened to the crackling sounds and popping noises things make as they burn
