In Year 2 the pupils have been learning about The Great Fire of London. They have been very excited about this topic... particularly the grand finale. The children had explored how houses were constructed during the 1600s. This meant they were able to come up with reasons for how the fire spread so quickly and destroyed so many homes!
They had a go at making their own houses and then got to set them on fire in the fire pit. It was amazing to see how quickly the fire took hold and obliterated the village.
I found out that there is a statue to mark where the fire ended. It is a golden boy on Pye Corner

Because the houses were made of flammable materials and so closely packed together it was easy for the fire to spread. Now we use brick and concrete, not wood and thatch. We have also got a more effective fire brigade!
