Guy Fawkes Day

Here is my writing to explain why we celebrate Guy Fawkes Day.

Guy Fawkes Day

On November the 5th every year people go to shops and buy fireworks so they can launch the fireworks. When the fireworks blast off there are beautiful colours and sparkles. It is so beautiful in the sky and it’s so  loud you can’t hear anything. You can only hear the fireworks booming in the sky. I like it because it is so pretty and cool because in the night or in the day it is so colorful so that’s why I like fireworks.

This happens every year. Why does this happen?

First 400 years ago King James wanted to kill the Catholics.

So Guy Fawkes and his friends made a plan. Their plan was to get barrels of gunpowder and put it under King James building to blow it up and kill the king.

One of Guy Fawkes friends sent a letter to warn the king.

So the king told his guards to get Guy Fawkes. They caught Guy Fawkes and then they arrested him. Then they killed him.

So every year we have fireworks so we remember what happened to Guy Fawkes and his friends.

Why do we celebrate Guy Fawkes Day?

I created this slideshow using ideas from my writing.

White tailed spider

A white tailed spider is a spider that came to New Zealand from Australia over hundred years ago.

The white tailed spider has a long dark grey body with a white patch at the end. It has orange brown bands around its legs. There are special tufts of hair at the end of the legs so  that the spider can stick onto smooth or sloping surfaces easily. It also has two palps at the front of its body that it uses for grooming and tasting.

White tailed spiders live under dark things. They like to live under bark and under plants.

White tailed spiders can catch some other spiders and catch them in their web and eat them. They can crawl into clothing and shoes. Then they will bite the people that put their clothes or shoes on. Be careful about leaving your clothes or your shoes on the floor.
