BONFIRE NIGHT




BONFIRE NIGT. GUY FAWKES' NIGHT
On November 5th 1605, Guy Fawkes and his friends decided to place gunpowder under the British parliament. They wanted to kill James I because he was a protestant English King. But James I didn't die. Before the explosion, he received an anonymous letter to warn him of a danger. So the conspirators were captured and tortured for treason.
English people thought it was a good decision. So on the 5th of November every year, British children celebrated Guy Fawkes Night. They make a model of Guy with old clothes. Then they walk down the streets shouting "A penny for a Guy". With the money, they buy fireworks which explode in the sky. And they collect wood and paper to make a big fire called a bonfire and to burn the guy. 

 
Today we learnt about Guy Fawkes and Bonfire night. An event dedicated to fireworks and bonfires.
