Primary 3-5 are going to increase our knowledge of bonfire night and fireworks by adding interesting facts to this post. I am looking forward to learning more about why we celebrate on the 5th and learning more about fireworks!
Guy Fawkes was hanged for trying to blow up the parliament buildings.
The first firework was made in China and it was more than 2000 years ago.
Guy Fawkes was in charge of looking after the gunpowder. If he hadn’t have been caught he would have been the person that lit it.
Guy Fawkes was hung drawn and quartered for trying to blow up the house of parliament he was going to be hung but before they could hang him he pulled on the rope around his neck and killed him self.His dead body was attached to a horse drawn carriage and pulled around his village to signal that he had done something wrong .Guy Fawkes es dead body was cut up before being tossed on a bonfire we now celebrate the 5th of November.
The first firework was made in China by putting gunpowder into a bamboo stick and exploding it.
Dreaming about fireworks means that you like to be the centre of attention and are showing off to others . It also symbolizes enthusiasm and exhilaration.
What interesting facts you have found out P3,4 and 5! The old saying is true, you do learn something new everyday! Mrs J.

Fireworks are not fun for animals. Always keep dogs and cats inside the house when fireworks are being let off. Stay calm and make sure they have somewhere to hide.
The reason we do Bonfire Night is because It’s the anniversary of an attempt to blow up the House of Parliament by a man called Guy Fawkes.
