The Great Fire of London
2nd September 1666



In Terms 3 and 4 our history topic is 'The Great Fire of London'. On Monday we had our WOW day. During the day we learnt so much about the great fire through a range of activities. 

 We turned cardboard boxes into black and white Tudor houses.

We made delicious bread rolls in our school kitchen. We worked together with Year 1, it was a lot of fun and a little bit messy! Did you know that the Great Fire of London started in a bakery? 
We made a timeline of what happened over the 4 days that the fire was burning. 

 Here are our finished houses. 

In the afternoon we went outside and burnt the houses. It was quite windy and this caused the fire to spread quickly, just like in the real fire.

What a fantastic morning we had in Year 2 today (18.1.19). Jon from the  Royal National Lifeboat Institution came to visit us and he taught us all about water safety. We had an assembly in the morning with Reception and Year 1. During this time Jon showed us some amazing rescue videos and we were very impressed. Most of the people working on the lifeboats are volunteers, amazing! Ashley dressed up as one of the crew members to show everyone what they would wear on a rescue mission.    A little bit later on Jon came to our classroom and talked to us about keeping ourselves safe at the seaside. He was very impressed with Year 2's knowledge of water safety and it was lovely to hear them making links to their trip to Weston Super-Mare. Anisa had a chance to dress up this time! Anisa was showing us what an RNLI lifeguard would be wearing at the beach.   We carried our own rescue mission! Always remember a...

Year 2 had the most fantastic time at Wild Place yesterday! We have been excited for weeks and couldn't believe the day had finally arrived.  W hen we arrived we went on a walk through the woods looking for animals. We came across an obstacle course which was great fun! The first animals we saw were the Gelada monkeys. They had amazing fur and liked to sit on rocks.   Next we saw the Cheetahs. We stayed absolutely silent and the cheetah's started prowling towards us. All 3 of them came right up to us, it was an incredible experience! We couldn't believe our eyes or luck!! We explored an African village and saw many African animals.  We learnt all about African animals and the reasons why some of them unfortunately are endangered. This linked with our topic this term.   After we had eaten our delicious lunches we went on a barefoot walk. We walked across many different materials without any shoes on, the parents a...
