Hi, everyone! It's Bonfire Night on Thursday, the fifth of November. There's a big fireworks display in Riverside Park. From my window, you can only see a little bit. So let's go to the park!

Arjun

Yes, please! I love fireworks. Can Jonas come, too? He isn't at our school. He's from Germany, and he's staying with my family for two weeks.

Jonas

Hi, it's Jonas! Thank you! But what is Bonfire Night?

Chloe

Hi, Jonas! It's a story from history, from more than four hundred years ago. Some men have a plan. They want to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London, and the king, too!

Chloe

But in the night, on the fifth of November, guards find a man with lots of gunpowder. His name is Guy Fawkes. So the king is safe! And now, every year, we have bonfires and fireworks.

Finn

Thanks, Chloe! Great story. Fireworks? Brilliant, I'm in! My dad always makes a small bonfire in our garden. But the display in the park is much bigger!

Isla

Cool! So we're going to Riverside Park on Thursday. I can buy the tickets online. More information tomorrow!
