Year 2 have been travelling back in time to 1666 as part of our learning about the Great Fire of London!
In History, we have been discovering what life was like in London during this time and finding out how the fire spread through the narrow streets. We have also been enjoying the book, Mary and the Great Fire of London by Sue Graves, which has helped us imagine what it would have been like to live through this incredible event.
We have been making links between our History and English learning. Using everything we have discovered, we have been imagining that we are living in 1666 and thinking about how we could help to put out the fire!
In English, we have been using our historical knowledge to write our own instructions, including commands and time conjunctions to explain each step.
We have worked together in groups to create our very own text maps, adding actions to help us remember each part of our instructions. We have had lots of fun bringing our learning to life through movement, teamwork and creativity!
