GUY FAWKES celebrations

As part of our Inquiry we've been looking at various celebrations and what they are about.  We did a couple of things related to Guy Fawkes this week because it's coming up on the 5th of November - YAY!  We each made a poster showing how to celebrate safely with fireworks, and we also wrote some descriptive pieces using the word 'FIREWORKS' - here's a few of them...

Friends and family meet to celebrate.
I see big huge colourful explosions.
Rain drops that are beautiful colours fill the dark sky.
Eee arr I say as fireworks go by.
Watching as a firework ends and colourful rain drops fall.
Owls and animals get frightened.
Roaring big huge bangs.
Keep a safe distance away from buildings and homes.
Steak and sausages sizzle on the blazing barbecue.
(R.W.)

Flaming sparks launch into the sky like a rocket.
Interesting sorts of steaming hot flames.
Roaring people screaming and shouting like a bear.
Explosions lighting up the huge dark sky.
Wonderful colours shining bright like gold in the cold night.
Orange firefighters patrolling the long streets.
Relaxing while watching the ginormous fireworks.
Kids running crazy with steaming sparklers.
Sadly Guy Fawkes ends and all that fun is over.
(J.H.)

Fizzling fireworks shooting high up in the sky.
Icky smoke everywhere.
Roaring fire exploding and flashing.
Extremely loud bangs and really, really loud booms.
Why do dogs and cats stop wagging their tails?
Outside is really cold and breezy but warm by the bonfire.
Racing fireworks zooming up in the sky.
Knocking on doors annoyed about the racket.
Sizzling steak and sausages smells yum on the BBQ.
