WHAT ABOUT GUY FAWKES? Learn about this popular British tradition
On 5th November every year, children in
Britain get excited because it is Bonfire Night (Guy Fawkes' Night). They lit
bonfires and enjoy fireworks displays. On top of the fire there is a guy (a homemade model of a man, like a scarecrow).
They do
these things because they're remembering when the King of England, James l, and
the Houses of Parliament were nearly blown up with gunpowder
Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Day, Bonfire
Night and Firework Night, is
an annual commemoration observed on 5 November, primarily in Great Britain. Its history begins with the events of
5 November 1605, when Guy Fawkes, a member of the Gunpowder Plot, was arrested while guarding explosives the
plotters had placed beneath the House of Lords. Celebrating the fact that King James I had
survived the attempt on his life, people lit bonfires around London.
TEACHERS: here is a video to introduce the topic in both the English classes and those of Social Science in English:

HALLOWEEN IS COMING ON OCTOBER 31st!!!
Halloween is celebrated on
October 31st every year. The holiday began as a Celtic festival from Ireland
called Samhain. Halloween is traditionally a holiday
that is meant to ward off evil spirits. During the time of the Celtic
traditions, people would carve out scary faces and figures in giant turnips,
place a candle inside, and set in their windows to scare away evil ghosts and
enemies on Halloween.
