SEASON CELEBRATIONS: 'WHAT'S GUY FAWKES' DAY, 6TH GRADERS?'."¿QUÉ ES EL DÍA DE GUY FAWKES, CHIC@S DE 6º ED. PRIMARIA?"

Last Fiday, 4th November took place Guy Fawkes' celebration in 6th graders' classrooms.

El pasado 4 de noviembre los alumn@s de 6º de Ed. Primaria celebraron el día de Guy Fawkes.

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  like a scarecrow. They do these things because they remember when the King of England, James l, and the Houses of Parliament were nearly blown up with gunpowder.

Los niños en Reino Unido celebran con entusiasmo la "Noche de la Hoguera" o "La noche de Guy Fawkes" encendiendo hogueras y disfrutando de fuegos artificiales. Encima de la hoguera ponen un muñeco de tela y paja imitando a Guy. El motivo de esta celebración es para conmemorar cuando Guy Fawkes intentó volar las Casas del Parlamento en Londres con polvora.

 Remember, remember,
the fifth of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
We see no reason why
Gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!"Words to Guy Fawkes
