Bringing The Great Fire of London to life…

Key Stage 1 have continued their topic work surrounding The Great fire of London with great enthusiasm. This week we have focused on some key people who experienced the event. We have spent time investigating Thomas Farriner and Samuel Pepys and have used our work to write play scripts to retell the events of September 2nd 1666. We then re-enacted the events of 1666 using puppets. Please see below a few of the videos recorded.

In Maths we have developed our subtraction strategies, with the children becoming increasingly confident when using empty number lines and/or rulers as number lines.

Year 2 continue to improve their Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar skills and we are very appreciative of the support they are receiving from home through the completion of home learning activities.

Many thanks,

Key Stage 1 team
