Year 2 had a fantastic time learning about Guy Fawkes yesterday! The children were fully immersed in an exciting and interactive learning experience as they explored the story of Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot.

To bring the history to life, the children took part in a range of fun activities:

Firework Art
They created brilliant firework pictures using chalk, experimenting with colour and movement to make their artwork sparkle on the page.

Costume Photoshoot
The class loved dressing up in different themed costumes and taking part in a photoshoot – there were plenty of smiles and giggles!

Secret Code Cracking
Our young historians decoded special Guy Fawkes–themed secret messages, just like Guy Fawkes and the conspirators would’ve written and decoded in the 1600s.

A Dance from the 1600s
To finish the day, the children learnt a traditional dance from the 17th century. It was wonderful to see them stepping back in time.

The children showed great enthusiasm, curiosity and creativity throughout the day. We are so proud of how engaged they were and how much they learned while having such fun!

Well done, Year 2!
