Year 2 are historians!

We have been so lucky in the month of June. We started the month with a Habitats visit to Ashridge, last week we learned about Judaism in an inspiring workshop and this week, we reinforced our learning in history with a day long series of activities focussing on the Great Fire of London. We all looked tremendous dressed up in our 17th century outfits and our teacher for the day, Master Jonathan taught us many things about how people lived 350 years ago. As the day progressed, we learned more about how the fire developed and what the people of London would have done to try and stop the fire. During the afternoon, we explored artefacts collected from the fire, and considered what they told us about the owner and their life.

We could not have run the day without the support of nine adults from Year 2 and Year 3 and we are very grateful for their invaluable help and enthusiasm. Thank you!
