As writers we will be writing reports about fires, create diary entries and design our own non-fiction text on fire safety and the fire service.

As readers we will look at historical texts from the time of the Great Fire of London. We will read extracts from Samuel Pepys’ Diary and explore a narrative text ‘Toby and the Great Fire of London’. We will also be looking at a variety of non-fiction texts.

As mathematicians we will be sequencing time and looking at days, weeks, months and years. 

As scientists we will identify everyday materials and compare their properties.  We will observe changes in materials and discover which are waterproof and fireproof.

As historians we will learn about the Great Fire of London, and investigate how and why it happened, using primary and secondary sources. We will discover how houses have changed over time and research into how the fire service began.

As geographers we will identify and locate parts of London, look at maps of where the fire managed to spread to and use specialised vocabulary.

As Artists and Designers we will use a range of materials and techniques to create models of Tudor houses. We will create images from a variety of media and materials to make collages of the Great fire of London.
