Last Thursday, the children in Year 2 travelled back in time to 1666! They switched roles from Kings and Mayors to Samuel Pepys and Market traders, and what a great job they did of acting out these roles!
The children reenacted the events leading up to the Great Fire of London as well as the fateful day and the dreadful aftermath. They learnt about how life in 1666 was different to their lives today and how the fire ultimately, led to changes being made to the city when it was rebuilt.
I didn't know about Sir Christopher Wren before today, he did lots of things! - Kanishka
The children now have a secure understanding of how the past differs from today yet impacts the way we live.
I loved being the King I can't believe they had hair like that! - Ollie
I thought it was weird that they didn't have electric anywhere or firemen! - Harry
