Great Fire of London

Concluding their topic of London, Year 2 have been learning more about fire, and the triangle of elements required to make fire: fuel, oxygen & heat.

The children worked together with Mr Anthony and recreated a paper Pudding Lane. Lighting the bakery and one end of the lane, they ob- served how the flames spread and also how the fire stopped when the fuel ran out.

Extending the lesson, the pupils returned to their classroom and wrote paragraphs about the fire they watched, using similes.
