Remember, remember, the Fifth of November!

BONFIRE NIGHT

Bonfire night has come around,

Listen to that whooshing sound.

**

Rockets soaring in the sky,

Catherine Wheels that spin and fly.

**

Bangers bang and Fountains pour;

Roman Candles fizz galore.

**

Toast marshmallows on the fire.

Watch the flames shoot higher and higher!

**

Hold a sparkler in your hand,

Write your name across the land.

**

The heavens dance with firework light

Colouring the sky tonight.

AUTUMN FUN

The

blown

trees creak,

the wind shrieks,

snatching the leaves

to the ground, for some

rustling, crackling, stamping

REMINDER FROM A HEDGEHOG

Every year in November,

humans seem to know

that hibernating hedgehogs,

need a place to go.

They build a super hiding place

for hedgehogs just like me.

Full of branches, twigs and leaves.

A cosy place to be.

It seems we’ve found the perfect place

to keep us snug and dry.

To keep out larger predators

when they go passing by.

But later on, you humans

forget that we are there.

You set light to our hiding place.

It really isn’t fair!

So, when you build your bonfire,

please can you remember,

to check for sleeping hedgehogs

on the Fifth of November

THANK YOU!

WHY LEAVES CHANGE COLOUR

The colour green,

Hides hues unseen.

But as the summer fades away

And cooler days are here to stay,

With weaker sunlight on the trees

Green chlorophyll breaks down in leaves.

Then yellow pigment and orange too

Turns them into to their autumn hue.
