The Guy Fawkes story has also been researched during class time. Class 10DL have studied in detail the events that led up to Guy Fawkes being executed for attempted treason. This sequence of events was then acted out during the assembly.

Mr Lee concluded the Class 10DL assembly by reminding all pupils about the importance of safety when we are attending a fireworks display. The students all lit a sparkler, and then demonstrated how we can safely put these in a bucket of water once we have finished.
