History
‘The Great Fire of London!’ – Our new topic for this half term
The children in Year 1 and 2 have started to explore timber houses and structures that were in London in 1666. As the weeks go on, the children will learn more about the catastrophic event that erupted on the 2nd of September 1666, in a small bakery on Pudding Lane, situated near London Bridge. They will explore the suitability of materials and their resistance to fire and make a product that has a door hinge incorporated within it. They will evaluate the suitability of these and we hope to invite the fire service in to demonstrate and discuss the risk of, and the speed that fire can spread across buildings!
