Hello everyone!
Today is 14th July, which is a very important day of celebration in France, called Bastille Day. Long ago, France was ruled by a King who controlled everything in the country. The French people were tired of having to pay money to the King, and tired of not having enough food to eat themselves, so they began to grumble and protest. The protests became very serious and there was rioting in the streets. The rioters broke into an important prison, called the Bastille, and set all the prisoners free. This was the start of the French Revolution, which was a really important time in French history, and which is still remembered today.
In France, there will be parades and celebrations, and in the evening there is traditionally a huge firework display. So, with that in mind, how would you like to make some firework paintings today? You can find instructions here for one kind of firework painting, or you can try the wax resist technique that I suggested a few weeks ago, or you can do your own thing!
Whatever you choose to do today, have a wonderful time!
Mrs Vaqueiro
