It is divided into four sections:
• Celebrating with fireworks
• Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot
• How we celebrate today and fireworks code
• Ending assembly with our freedom to practise our own religion and a prayer.

You can begin your assembly from Slide 11 which covers the gunpowder plot and why 5th November is a special day.

The follow-up activities relate to what they have learnt in assembly or if using as a lesson, to consolidate their learning.
