This half term, our topic is 'time travellers'; a fantastic history based unit that is centred around 'The First Moon Landing', Neil Armstrong and 'The Great Fire of London.' 

Today, the children took part in a fantastically creative drama workshop where they acted out the events of The Great Fire. The children took on the roles of Thomas Farriner (baker to King Charles II), King Charles II, homes, people fleeing, Samuel Pepys, the Lord Mayor of London, Thomas Farriner's maid and many more! 

Through drama, the children recalled the sequence of events and learnt how the fire started and why it was able to spread so quickly. They were so enthusiastic and couldn't wait to share what they had learnt when we got back to class. Fantastic work KS1!
