What did you enjoy the most?
What left you in awe?
What made you think - 'I never expected to see that!'
What made you think - 'Of course... I know why they included that!'

Think about what we have learnt about China and Chinese culture eg we always expected fireworks because the Chinese invented gunpowder!
Can you think of another reason why fireworks played a big part?
