Hi Friends....

Today an assembly was conducted about the Guy Fawkes Festival. Students from Classes IV to VII were there to see our presentation and play on Guy Fawkes Day. The participants had to bring costumes appropriate for their character. The play described the whole incident which took place on

5th November 1605 and the whole planning of Guy Fawkes with his two close friends :Thomas and Robert. Which they tried to accomplish very carefully. But unfortunately were caught plotting a cache of explosives under the House of Lords by a commander under King James I. But the plan was executed only between Robert, Guy Fawkes and Thomas. Watson had informed the guards of the King about the plan of killing the king. Thereby Guy Fawkes, Thomas and Robert were caught and were told to face the king. The King angrily ordered his soldiers to hang them to death and announce that from that day everyone would burn effigies of Guy Fawkes , and put up bonfires to celebrate the survival of the king.

Everyone was very happy to see the play as they got to know a lot about a festival just like Dusshera.

The narrators also gave out some similarities between the two festivals celebrated in completely different continents.

Some children in the audience wore masks of Guy Fawkes.

Happy Guy Fawkes Day to all of you in United Kingdom .... ENJOY !!!

Regards

Hello Friends !!  Glad to be back with more information ! We got so deeply involved in festivals that we found more similar festivals that are just celebrated like Guy Fawkes and Dussehra . Would like to share few of our research with you guys!!!!!! 1. Burning Man is an annual event in the western United States at Black Rock City – a temporary city erected in the Black Rock Desert of northwest Nevada, approximately 100 miles north-northeast of Reno. They burn effigies structured like a man. For example if it starts on Monday , 26 August then it will likely to end on Monday, 2 September. 2. The Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico, in particular the Central and South regions, and by people of Mexican heritage elsewhere. Its more like Guy Fawkes Festival.  That's it for today !!!   HAPPY BONFIRE NIGHT !!! 😉 SIDDHI

Hi friends we were very confused about the differences between Catholic and protestants. so we did a little research on them and this is what we discovered: The Pope Catholics have a Pope, which they consider a vicar for Christ; an infallible stand-in while Protestants believe no human is infallible and Jesus alone heads up the Church. Cathedrals Catholicism says that “humanity must discover its unity and salvation” within a church . Protestants say all Christians can receive salvation, regardless of church membership. Saints Saints are seen by Catholics as an intermediary to God or Jesus. Catholics pray to saints in addition to God. Protestants acknowledge saints, but don’t pray to them. Scripture The be-all, end-all for Protestants is “the Word of God.” For Catholics, tradition is just as important as scripture. Authority In Catholicism, only the Roman Catholic Church has authority to interpret the Bible. Protestants believe that each individual has authori

Hello Friends Today we saw your PPTs on Dusshera. We would like to thank you for putting in your efforts in the project. We received 7-8  entries from you guys. 3 PPTs were having totally different information about Guy Fawkes' death. One was telling that Guy Fawkes had broke his neck so that he could avoid hanging. The other two stated that Guy Fawkes had jumped off a cliff and had jumped off a tower in London.while our research states that  While climbing to the hanging platform, however, he jumped from the ladder and broke his neck, dying instantly.   we got this information from .........[https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/the-death-of-guy-fawkes]......... After watching your PPT it looks like you are very fascinated by Ravana.  We also got to know about the date when he died and about his mother and father's name --- Edith and Edward. There was some confusion between the surname of Thomas ---- whether it was Winter or Watson. There were a few spelling mistake
