Y2 London's Burning Topic Impact Day

The children enjoyed our Impact day to introduce our new topic for this half term; London's Burning.  As a class, we came up with some Key Questions that the children would like to find the answers to during this topic. They looked at historical artefacts and discussed the names and purpose of each one. They then listened to a story which explained lots of information about the fire, including how it started and why it spread so quickly. We sang the song ‘London’s Burning’ and discussed what the words mean. We went outside and we all worked together as a team to demonstrate how the fire would have been put out using buckets and water from the River Thames. We then completed a collage as a class to create The Great Fire of London as a collaborative art piece.
