News Report - The Great Fire of London
Date: 10th Nov 2022 @ 3:06pm
Year 1 have been learning all about The Great Fire of London. We have been doing lots of brilliant story writing based on the book "Toby and the Great Fire of London". We also acted in role as important people from 1666, Thomas Farriner, Samuel Pepys and King Charles II. We then acted out a news report and asked some important questions and used our learning to answer them.
A baker from a local shop asked us to design her some new bread so we researched, designed and made her some. She even came into school to help us make our bread. It was delicious! We also made pretend donuts for our bakery role play area. We have made lots of wonderful crafts based on the story too and enjoyed acting it out in our small world area.
