BONFIRE NIGHT- GUY FAWKES NIGHT

On Bonfire Night the British people remember Guy Fawkes.
On 5th November 1604 he wanted to blow up the houses of Parliament and kill the king. 



   Remember, remember!
    The fifth of November,
    The Gunpowder treason and plot;
    I know of no reason
    Why the Gunpowder treason
    Should ever be forgot!

WINNIE THE WITCH

Winnie the Witch lives in a big house in the forest. 
The house is black, the doors are black, the chairs are black, the bed is black... Even the bath is black.
Winnie lives with her cat Wilbur. He is black too!!
One day Winnie trips over Wilbur and falls down the stairs. She is angry and she waves her magic wand three times, ABRACADABRA!

Let's sing Winnie's Song!  
A big tall hat                                A long black tail
Ten long toes                              Big green eyes
A black magic wand                   He goes with Winnie
A long red nose.                         When she flies.
She's Winnie                               He's Wilbur
Winnie the Witch.                       Wilbur the cat.

Give me candy and an apple, too
And I won´t play a trick on you!
