Teachers can use this resource as a standalone lesson starter, a homework task, or a bridge between history and religious education. The activities encourage pupils to think about why we mark certain events and how different traditions are celebrated safely.

Students will have the chance to write a short poem, solve a maths-based puzzle involving the cost of event tickets in Australian dollars and cents, and reflect on the importance of firework safety.
