GUY FAWKES


I have just made this "Guy Fawkes" using the templates I have mentioned on the activities link below. I hope my students enjoy doing it as much as I did! :-)

REMEMBER REMEMBER POEM


Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot...

BONFIRE NIGHT

On 5 November every year, children in Britain get excited because it is Bonfire Night (Guy Fawkes' Night). They lit bonfires and enjoy fireworks displays. On top of the fire is a guy (a homemade model of a man, like a scarecrow).
They do these things because they're remembering when the King of England, James l, and the Houses of Parliament were nearly blown up with gunpowder.
