Here in the UK, we have a special day this week. It’s on Thursday 5th November and it’s called Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Bonfire Night. Here are a selection of links that might be useful for schools who are celebrating the event.

Interactive Fireworks – This is a popular site which has been online for years. Just click on the screen to set off a firework! For best effect, show it on an interactive whiteboard with your classroom lights turned off and the volume turned up!

History of Bonfire Night – Some wonderful child-friendly information from Woodlands Junior School.

Welephant – This site tells the story of how Welephant and his friend Spikey enjoyed a safe bonfire night and firework display. It has many fire safety messages particularly to do with fireworks and the firework code.

Have a safe and enjoyable Fireworks night if you’re getting involved!
