Our Topic this half term is History and we are learning about The Great Fire of London (GFoL). The children are enjoying learning some key facts about why the GFoL was so ‘great’.

We’ve been enjoying singing along to Londons Burning and reading the Poem The Great Fire of London by Paul Perro (This is a YouTube link. Top tip for watching YouTube with your child: go to the settings cog along the play bar and turn off autoplay – this avoids an inappropriate clip coming up automatically, and helps to discourage your child from passively watching clip after clip).

We’ve also read the book, Vlad and the Great Fire of London, (This is a YouTube link.

Help at home:  Ask your child to tell you some of the facts they have learnt so far.
