Year 2 - Great Fire of London Day

Today, Year 2 participated in an engaging and immersive learning day that allowed them to explore historical events hands-on. The children created a small-scale model of the city of London, which served as a tangible representation of the past. In addition, they crafted baker's hats and rat masks, further enriching their understanding of the historical context.

To conclude the day, students experienced a simulation of the rapid spread of fire by taking their model cities to the forest firepit and setting them ablaze. This dramatic demonstration provided a powerful visual and experiential understanding of the consequences of fire in history.
