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! |
