Remember, remember the 5th November!


Around four hundred years ago, in 1605, Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament with gunpowder, hidden in the cellars. The reason behind this plot was that Guy Fawkes was Catholic and King James I was announcing anti-Catholic laws. Although Fawkes was caught before he could blow it up, King James wanted to remember what happened forever so every year people had bonfires and created models of Guy Fawkes to throw on the fire. Nowadays, in London, people celebrate the 5th November by attending fireworks displays. Year 1 celebrated the day by drawing their own firework pictures.

Year 1's showing their work with pride!
