Should fireworks be changed to protect animals and some humans?

We discussed how loud fireworks could frighten our pets, wildlife and people who do not like loud bangs. We discussed the impact on our pets around bonfire night and how we felt upset that they could not go outside without feeling terrified. We also thought about the impact on the environment especially the pollution and rubbish created by fireworks. 

We decided that we would rather use water-fountain light shows, laser or drone shows for celebrations and festivals that use fireworks.

 After bonfire night we reflected that the sky was foggy and the smog filling the air was not good for our health or the environment. Therefore, using alternatives to fireworks would be beneficial.

Would you like some creativity with a Happy Meal?

We discovered that McDonalds have redesigned their famous Happy Meal box, leaving it white to allow children to express their creativity by colouring it in. We discussed our favourite types of craft and how we feel when we express ourselves creatively. We then looked at other types of expression such as dance, music, cheerleading, singing and writing. We decided that we would like to try the new Happy Meal box and it would be even better if McDonalds painted the walls white and allowed children to colour them in.

How important is a sense of togetherness?

We looked at how the Princess of Wales holds a community carol concert every year to allow people from all over the UK to come together to celebrate through music, kindness and community spirit. We really liked this idea and how everyone was invited and would be included. We then thought about how we showed togetherness at school, with our families and through sports and hobbies. As a class, we decided that we wanted to spread joy like the Princess of Wales and therefore we would smile at everyone we met and give out compliments to brighten everyone's day.
