• 🔥🏠😊Year 2 Great Fire of London Learning

  Fri 16 Oct 2026

  It was fantastic to see our Year 2 children fully immersed in their Great Fire of London learning this week. As part of their discovery learning, the children designed and built their own houses from cardboard before safely observing how quickly a fire could spread between them, helping bring this important historical event to life.

   

  The activity was both exciting and memorable, sparking curiosity, discussion and deeper understanding. Most importantly, the children had great fun while learning, and it was wonderful to see such enthusiasm and engagement throughout the experience.
