• The Great Fire of London activity in Year 2:

  Fri 10 Oct 2025

  Year 2 have been busy this week creating models of 17th Century houses. As part of their learning about the Great Fire of London, the children explored how the narrow streets and wooden buildings helped the fire spread quickly across the city. Next week, with support from Mr Ridge, the children will carefully set their models alight to observe how easily the fire could travel from house to house!
