Before the Easter holidays in Year 1 we had our Great Fire of London burning ceremony. The children had absolutely loved learning about the Great Fire of London across history, writing, art and D&T lessons.

As part of our D&T project this half term, the children designed, made and evaluated a Tudor house. The children thought carefully about why the houses in London in the 1600s burnt so easily. We talked about how it was because they were so close together and made of wood!

Before we burnt our houses the children sang “London’s Burning” which we have been practicing in music lessons. The children also lined up their houses and walked through the Tudor “street”. It was very windy which made it even more realistic as this made the fire spread even quicker!

I hope you enjoy the photos/videos from this day!
