Great Fire of London
Year 2 decorated houses in the style of those that were burnt by the fire in Pudding Lane in 1666. We then took them out onto the playground and recreated the Great Fire of London. We watched as the flames took over and destroyed the houses. The children have said this experience was amazing, wonderful, fun and a bit scary to watch!
