This morning we learned about alliteration which is when words start with the same letter. We read the poem Bleezer’s Ice Cream and highlighted all the examples of alliteration. Then we made up our own flavours and we did yucky flavours of Ice Cream!

Fireworks

Last night we heard lots of loud booms and bangs outside our house. It was very annoying because no-one could sleep. Eventually the police came and our neighbours stopped setting off their fireworks.

What are Fireworks?

Fireworks are colourful explosions that make loud, booming noises. They are made of coloured gunpowder and look best at night because the colours show up very bright. They glow like stars and are sparkly.

When do people celebrate them?

Guy Fawkes is celebrated every year November 2-5th. People also celebrate with fireworks at birthdays, New Years, Matariki, Diwali, and sporting events.

What is the history of Fireworks in November?

Guy Fawkes and friends wanted to blow up England's parliament because King James didn't change laws to be more kind. Guy Fawkes was arrested before he could light the gunpowder in the basement of parliament. King James said people could have Bonfires on November 5th to celebrate his survival.
