Bonfire night, for many children, can be a very exciting and stimulating time but describing the event is not always as easy.

So this week we have come up with a list of words (onomatopoeic) that imitate the sounds heard on bonfire night, so that you can support your child in giving a more interesting description of the night events: bang, pop, whizz, whoosh, whistle, crackle, snap, sizzle, buzz, hiss, screech, scream, squeal, boom, fizz, roar, whoop, argh, ooh, whine, fizzle.

For a fun activity link this with our firework pre-handwriting pattern picture which you can find on this week’s Teach Handwriting Blog.

Have Fun!
