KieronWilliamson

He’s an English boy. He’s 7 years old and he’s a true artistic genius!

Kieron Williamson lives in England. He’s only 7 years old but he’s already a great artist. He likes painting the English countryside in watercolours. His paintings are similar to the paintings of the famous painters Picasso and Monet.

six6

The technique of painting

with watercolours is very

old. The Egyptians painted

with watercolours in

1300 B.C.

present simple; expressing preferences (like/love + verb –ing)

Interesting fact

Kieron says, “I like painting

because it’s interesting and

fun. When I paint, I think of

places that I can’t see”.

People from all over the

world want to buy Kieron’s

paintings. Kieron even sells

his paintings in Canada and

Japan. Keep up the good

work, Kieron!

His mother says, “My son

Kieron loves painting because

he lives in a flat and he doesn’t

have a garden. When he paints

… he creates his own world”.

In Britain

Remember, remember the fifth of November … it’s Guy Fawkes’ Night in Britain!

In 1605, thirteen men planned to blow

up the Houses of Parliament in London

because they wanted to kill the King of

England. But the plan failed when Guy

Fawkes, one of the 13 men, was caught

on 5th November that year. The English

people were very happy that their

king was safe and they celebrated by

lighting bonfires (small fires made with

wood and sticks) around London. Now,

every year, on 5th November, British

people celebrate Guy Fawkes’ Night.

Guy Fawkes’ Night

Traditions

Can you learn the rhyme too?

On 5th November, all around the country,

people meet to watch amazing firework

displays and they see the bonfire burn. They

cook potatoes and sausages on the bonfire

and eat a traditional dessert called Parkin cake.

Children also learn the Guy Fawkes’ nursery

rhyme which goes like this:

“Remember, remember the fifth of November

Gunpowder, treason and plot.

I see no reason why gunpowder, treason

Should ever be forgot”
