Fireworks night

It happens on the 5th of November every year to basically celebrate the failure of Guy Fawkes who attempted to blow up parliament with gunpowder which is why we now have fireworks night. Kids at primary schools make stuffed Guy Fawkes to put on the bonfire and there’s a fireworks show. The rhyme kids use to remember it is “remember remember the 5th of Novermeber, gunpowder, treason and plot” anyway it’s a weird thing that we celebrate but seeing all the fireworks is always a fun night.
