This half term, we have been stepping into the role of Historians and have been learning all about The Great Fire of London. We had a GFOL workshop where the children made 1666 houses with their grown ups. We then used these to create our very own Pudding Lane before re-enacting the historical event by setting the houses on fire to see how quickly fire can spread!

Year 2 have been enjoying reading, completing role play based on a story and hot seating as a character.

Local walk

Our current Power of Reading text is set in the woods. We therefore went on a walk to the local park to see what trees were growing there. The children were very excited to use magnifying glasses and a tree identification sheet to see what trees they could spot!
