The Great Fire of London

This half term Year 1 will be learning all about 'The Great Fire of London'.
This pupil was very proud to share with the class his adventures in London.
He saw the Monument that was built to remember the fire and visited the streets (Pudding Lane and Seething Lane) where the fire took place in 1666.
He was brave and climbed all of the 311 steps to the top of the tower and back down again!
Year 1 can not wait to use their Historical Enquiry skills to find out more about the events that happened in 'The Great Fire of London'.

Get out, stay out, call 999!

To end Year 1's topic on The Great Fire of London the fire service came into school to explain all about their job, how to keep safe and the equipment they use to fight fires.

1L have been amazing at learning all about The Great Fire of London and understand that if firefighters, like we have today, were around in 1666 the fires could have been prevented.

Everyone was super excited to get inside a real fire truck and practice being a firefighter by wearing helmets, driving the fire truck (simulator) and pulling a water hose.

It was a great day and thank you to Phil and Dave for teaching us how to keep safe.

''Get out, stay out, call 999!''

''Matches and lighters never touch, they can hurt you very much!''

Amazing home learning about The Great Fire of London.

1L have not only been enthusiastic in class learning all about the events of The Great Fire of London, but they have also been busy learning about it at home.

In the classroom there are now lots of pictures, timelines, facts, posters, 3D buildings, books and much more, on display, that 1L have produced at home.

Thank you 1L for always trying your hardest and producing amazing work and thank you parents for supporting their learning :) This really is a great topic!

Year 1 and The Great Fire of London

On Friday we had such a fun morning travelling back in a time machine to the year 1666 in a time machine. We met Samuel Pepys, Thomas Farriner and the Duke of York and they told us the story of The Great Fire of London. We found out where it started, we thought about why it started and what happened to London afterwards. We had to join in with role play, actions, sound effects, time travel and we even learned a rap! (Mostly because we are quite cool anyway...) The workshop made us want to find out more about the disaster so we spent the rest of the day on the computers and iPads watching videos, reading Samuel's diary entries and looking at pictures of what happened.
