The Great Fire of London
Welcome back Keller Class, I hope you had a great break. Everyone has come back very settled and fell straight into a normal routine well done!
Our next topic in Year 1 is The Great Fire of London. We will find out what happened in 1666, how it happened and what changed following this disaster.
In this topic we will:
- Order the key events of the Great Fire in chronological order
- Investigate why and how the fire began
- Learn about Samuel Peyps and why he is important
- Discover what changed after the Great Fire
- Explore ways we can learn about the past.
Are you ready to find out why London started burning?

A couple of general reminders:
- Spelling quiz will continue on a Friday. The list is attached to our class blog and will be sent home during the first week back.
- Reading: Please continue to read with your child at least 3 times a week and sign their reading record to show you have done this. We are still working towards our silver reading award.
- Maths: all children should be staying within the green zone on Doodlemaths. Bespoke Doodlemaths challenges have been set for your child to help plug any gaps – please make sure these are done too!
