BONFIRE NIGHT
On November 5th British people remember the spectacular attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament
by celebrating ‘Bonfire Night’. All over Britain there are firework displays and bonfires with models of
Guy Fawkes which are burned on the fire. It’s normally quite cold on Bonfire Night so people wear warm
clothes, hats, scarves and gloves to spend the evening outside. Traditional Bonfire Night food is jacket
potatoes and toffee apples. This year is the 400th anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot and there are
special events being held in London to remember the events of 1605.
This is a popular rhym that people say on that night:
Remember, Remember the fifth of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot…
We also had our special commemoration of the event!!!
