The history of Bon Fire night.
Using puppets, we retold the story of Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot. We learned that:
- Guy Fawkes took part in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605.
- Guy Fawkes was not the leader – that was Robert Catesby.
- The plot tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament to kill King James I and his government.
- The plotters were discovered and captured on November 5th. This led to celebrations known as ‘bonfire night’ which still happens today.
