Wow – What a term! The children have loved learning about all things 1666.
Our History topic has been so popular with the children, they are able to recall key facts about the Great Fire, but also have been investigating how we can look at different pieces of evidence from the past to explore what happened. We’ve read diaries and newspaper articles. Had boxes of evidence delivered directly from London and looked at paintings to learn more about Samuel Pepys, Thomas Farrier and Sir Christopher Wren.
We’ve written instructions to make rolls from the famous bakery on Pudding Lane and written a diary entry as someone who was there on Pudding Lane on the night the fire started. We had a drama workshop with Ian from Kic theatre company too!
In DT we have built houses to replicate those from 1666, burnt them to see how quickly the fire spread and finally designed a new London.
Here are some photos of our learning this term.
