London's Burning!

London's Burning!

As part of our creative topic this half term 'Why was London burning?' Year 2 talked about how The Great Fire of London spread so quickly during the GFoL because houses were made of wood. We then burnt some houses to show how quickly fire can spread. We also made wooden houses using wattle and daub (sticks and clay) to create London city, the children then re-enacted putting out the fires in a team using a bucket of water. We have a fabulous morning outside and the children thoroughly enjoyed it.
