Our 'Great Fire of London Workshop' has definitely been the highlight of this week,
On Tuesday we had an Outdoor Learning Practitioner in school working with the Year 2's all day. The children spent the day learning more about the Fire of London in 1666. They made their own houses and even made St. Paul's Cathedral making sure that they painted them to look like the houses of this time with the wood beams. The final part of the day was spent recreating London and then setting fire to it! This was, of course, done in a safe and controlled way.
This gave the children a much better idea of the extent of the fire and the reasons why it happened and spread so quickly. We ended the day with a safety talk about fire and who we would call if we saw one. We also played some games!
The children are really enjoying this topic and their knowledge shared with our visitor was amazing!
Enjoy the pictures!
Have a wonderful, longer, weekend.
