West End Park

West End Park is next to our school. We use it for outdoor games lessons

in the summer and we hold family events there.

Our Green Team work with a group of neighbours, called The Friends of

West End Park to keep it looking beautiful. They have built some raisedflower beds for us to use. You can see the purple crocuses we planted for

the spring, on the Eco-Pals website.

The seeds that were brought back from our meeting in Italy have also

been planted there so that we can share them with our local community.Thank you.

ON NOVEMBER 5 PEOPLE ACROSS THE UK CELEBRATE

BONFIRE NIGHT.

THERE ARE SMALL FIREWORKS PARTIES IN BACK

GARDENS ALONG WITH BIG ORGANISED DISPLAYS IN

PUBLIC PARKS.

THE REASON WE DO IT IS BECAUSE

IT'S THE ANNIVERSARY OF AN

ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP THEHOUSES OF PARLIAMENT LED BY A

MAN CALLED GUY FAWKES.

IT'S CALLED THE GUNPOWDER

PLOT, AND BONFIRES ARE LIT TO

BURN THE "GUY" - A KIND OF

DUMMY THAT REPRESENTSFAWKES.


24/30

GUY (GUIDO) FAWKES LED THE GUNPOWDER PLOT IN 1605.

IT WAS A PLAN TO BLOW UP KING JAMES I AND HIS

GOVERNMENT.

FAWKES AND HIS GROUP PUT 36 BARRELS OF GUNPOWDER

IN CELLARS UNDER THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT INLONDON, READY TO SET OFF A MASSIVE EXPLOSION.

ONE MEMBER OF THE GROUP SENT A LETTER TO HIS FRIEND

WHO WORKED IN PARLIAMENT, WARNING HIM

TO STAY AWAY ON NOVEMBER 5.

THE KING'S SUPPORTERS GOT HOLD OF THE LETTER AND

THE PLOT WAS RUMBLED!

GUARDS BROKE INTO THE CELLARS WHERE THE

GUNPOWDER PLOTTERS WERE WAITING. THEY WERE

ARRESTED, TORTURED AND EXECUTED.

THE GUNPOWDER PLOT WAS ABOUT RELIGION. ENGLANDWAS A PROTESTANT COUNTRY, AND THE PLOTTERS WERE

CATHOLIC.

THE GROUP WANTED TO RETURN ENGLAND TO THE

CATHOLIC FAITH. THEY THOUGHT THEY COULD DO THIS BY

KILLING KING JAMES I AND HIS MINISTERS.
