WALT: Explaining what we did on the 5th of November.
Bonfire Night - 5th November 2014
In class the children made Guy Fawkes. We made him out of straw, paper, clothing, sticks and a plastic bag. While we were making Guy Fawkes, some of the boys started to do a face for him, and some of the girls made a very tall top hat for him.
Firstly, we had to fill up the top and pants up with scrunched up paper. After that we had to fill it up with some straw. The straw that we use had a lot of rubbish in it and the gross thing about the hay was that it had a glove it and some old banana peels. eww! Then, we stuck some sticks inside of the top for some arms and some legs, but first we had to staple it up. We had to make sure that the t-shirt and pants were stuck on tightly.
After that, we were finally finished! but that was just the body. We needed to wait for the face and the top hat, then we were complete! So, we tidied up the classroom because the straw had just splattered everywhere on the ground, so Lauren,Lana,Sina,Jasmine and I helped tidy it all up, but that was to hard, so we cleaned up a little bit of the straw and just left some for the cleaners that clean up the classrooms after school.
Next, the class all got to together on the mat to sing the song that we were going to sing in the classrooms, because we were going to show and sing to the classes Guy Fawkes.
Room 9 went around to all the classes to show Guy Fawkes and to sing and everyone sang the first part, I sang the 2 part and Lauren sang the 3 part, then we all sang the last part which was “ And what shall we do with him? BURN HIM!!” It was kind of fun singing to all of the children in their classes but my voice started to feel a bit wrong.
After that, we all came back to class and we started to eat our lunch.
After Lunch, Rooms 9 and 10 went to the far end of school, next to the pool. Here we had our bonfire, where we threw sticks and paper in. When the bonfire had been lite, we threw our Guy Fawkes doll into the fire and we watched it burn!. While we watched our hard work burn, the clothing started rip and fall of but i think that the only thing that did not burn was the face of guy fawkes, but the rest all got burnt.
The children then roasted up some marshmallows on the bonfire. The marshmallows that we had were burnt but they were nice.
Finally, room 9 children all went back to class tired and exhausted after a hard days of work, so we all sat down on the mat, collected our bags put up our chairs and we watched our bonfire all again because Lana had videoed the whole thing. I had a good time doing the bonfire.
