Our class, 6^th class F, decided to read about Guy Fawks…..and celebrate the 5^th of November! My name is Jade, I am from South Africa and I loved to read about the most famous traitor in the world: Guy Fawks!

Remember, remember the fifth of November!

Gunpowder Plot 1605

In 1605, thirteen young men planned to blow up
the Houses of Parliament. Among them was
Guy Fawkes, Britain's most notorious traitor.

Some Catholics plotted to blow up the Parliament with King James inside. But Guy Fawks was found in the cellar of Westminster just in time! Guy was tortured and hanged. The king’s escape is celebrated each year with bonfire!

For more than 400 years, bonfires have burned
on November 5th to mark the failed Gunpowder Plot!

Class 6^th F decided to characterise Guy Fawks using the adjectives they learned in class, here are some opinions:

Beatriz Azevedo, 6^th F no.3 said “Guy Fawks was a traitor, but he was brave and strong!”

Rodrigo Rainho, 6^th F no.26  said “I Think Guy Fawks was courageous and interesting. He was good and thoughtful because he defended the Catholics!”

Jade Barros 6^th no.12 said “Guy Fawks was a traitor but seems a hero at the same time. He was strong, determined, stubborn and famous!”

Hello! This is Mrs.Hilda!  My students know how much I love rhymes……here is a rhyme for us to say on the 5^th of November, remember?

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t’was his intent
To blow up King and Parliament.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England’s overthrow;
By God’s providence he was catch’d
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
