Hello Year 2 families,
We ended our Great Fire of London topic by stepping back in time to 2nd September 1666, thanks to Oakley’s mum, Jo, who helped bring history to life in a truly memorable way.
Using a magic key, we entered London through an invisible door and found ourselves right in the heart of the bustling city. The children took on the roles of market sellers, proudly selling their wares. We had fishmongers, candle makers, butchers, flower sellers, and fruit and vegetable stallholders — just to name a few!
Suddenly, there was a smell of burning… and then — FIRE!
Some children became the flames spreading through the city, while others bravely tried to put the fire out. It was an exciting and powerful way to experience the events of the past.
We finished by coming together to retell the story of the Great Fire of London, ending with a loud and hopeful shout in unison: “London will rise again!”
A huge thank you to Jo for such a fantastic immersive experience and for helping make our learning so special.
