La noche de Guy Fawkes y Bonfire night

 Nuestro alumnado de 1º ESO ha realizado una serie de actividades en la clase de inglés para celebrar la noche de Guy Fawkes...¿Sabes qué es?
 La Noche de Guy Fawkes (Guy Fawkes Night), también conocida en inglés como Bonfire Night (la noche de las hogueras), Cracker Night o Fireworks Night (la noche de los fuegos artificiales), es una celebración que se realiza principalmente en el Reino Unido la noche del 5 de noviembre, para conmemorar el fracaso del atentado del 5 de noviembre de 1605, conocido como la conspiración de la pólvora, con el que una facción de católicos, entre los que se encontraba Guy Fawkes, intentaron destruir el Palacio de Westminster, la sede del parlamento en Londres.

History of the Gunpowder Plot  & Guy Fawkes Night 
Four hundred years ago, in 1605, a man called Guy Fawkes and a group of plotters attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London with barrels of gunpowder placed in the basement. They wanted to kill King James and the king’s leaders.

Guy Fawkes Discovered

Guy Fawkes was given the job to keep watch over the barrels of gunpowder and to light the fuse. On the morning of 5^th November, soldiers discovered Guy hidden in the cellar and arrested him. The trail of gunpowder at his feet would never be lit.

Guy Fawkes was taken to the Tower of London

He was tortured and questioned about the other plotters. To start with he didn't tell the soldiers anything about the plot. But, eventually he started to tell the truth.

A Celebration

In celebration of his survival, King James ordered that the people of England should have a great bonfire on the night on 5^th November.

The event is still commemorated annually in England on 5^th November by fireworks and burning ‘guys’ (effigies) on bonfires.

We made a "Guy"

The Guy (effigy) is made out of old clothes stuffed with paper or straw. The Guy is a reminder of Guy Fawkes.

A Penny for the Guy. During the days before Bonfire Night, children in England take their home-made guys out on the street and ask for "a penny for the Guy" for fireworks.
