The Great Fire of London

Lesson: History

Class: Year 2 Year: 2024 - 2025

To start off their new history topic, Year 2 have enjoyed a drama re-enactment of the Great Fire of London in our school playground.

They were transported back in time to Sunday 2nd September 1666 and to London where they had the challenge of putting out the fire. However, by the time they had got water from the River Thames the fire had spread!

There were some wonderful ‘Now Moments’ as they immersed themselves in the challenge and also lots of ‘Ow Moments’ as they discovered how hard it was to stop the fire spreading and after refelcting on the problems that people faced at the time.
