Fire, Fire,
Fire!
We have
really enjoyed this half term finding out about the Great Fire of London. We
were amazing at remembering facts. At the beginning of the topic, these are
some of the questions we wanted to investigate. Find the answers at the bottom
of the page!
Where did
the fire start?
Why did the
fire spread?
How long did
the fire last?
How do we
know about the fire?
In our art
lessons we explored colour. We found out more about primary colours and used
these to make our own secondary colours. We looked at work by Piet Mondrian and
even created some of our own. Using colours inspired by the Great Fire of
London we made a woven pattern.
In English
we have enjoyed reading Wow! Said the Owl which inspired us to write our own
stories about an owl’s journey discovering colours around the world.
This has
linked with our Geography and Science topics as we have found out about
different animals including birds and have created maps from an aerial (bird’s
eye) view.
We hope you
enjoyed watching our Christmas show as much as we enjoyed performing it.
Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year from the Year 1 Team.
Here are the
answers we found out:
Thomas
Farriner’s bakery in Pudding Lane.
For many
reasons including; the materials the houses were made of, houses were close
together and it was very dry and windy at that time.
From Sunday
the 2nd September 1666 – Thursday 6th September 1666
From eye
witness sources such as Samuel Pepys.
