Year 1 Great Fire of London workshop
Year 1 began their history topic with a visit from Sue. She talked to the children about what London was like in 1666 and how the buildings in London were made of different materials to the houses we have these days and how thie led to the fire being able to spread so quickly and widely through London. The children created their own Tudor house using cereal boxes and decorated it using black paint. In the afternoon the children took their houses outside and they were lined up like a street in London. The children watched as a simple spark set off a chain reaction which allowed the fire to spread. The children had a brilliant time: it was a great way to start their new learning.
