The events of The Great Fire of London

Date: 28th Nov 2024 @ 2:32pm

Last week in History, the children explored the timeline of events during 'The Great Fire of London'. We remembered how the fire started and then discussed how it spread easily through the streets of London and how Samuel Pepys started writing about the events in his special book called a 'diary'. The children looked at how the fire burned down St.Paul's Cathedral and spread all the way across to the Tower of London, which luckily didn't catch fire. We talked about how the fire then started to die down as the wind changed and people used fire hooks to pull down the houses.

Following their learning, the children collaborated to make their on 'Great Fire of London' timeline for our display board in the classroom. The children used their amazing writing and creative skills to show the events of the 'Great Fire' and are very proud of their work. Take a look below of how amazing it looks!
