 The Great Fire of London

We had a visit from King Charles II who had some important jobs for us.

We formed a bucket brigade to try and put out the fire out......

We became 'Fire Investigation Officers' and learnt about what life was like in 1666 and what things could have affected the fire...... 

We investigated how distance between buildings affects the spread of fire and made a report for King Charles II......

We became 'Chief Editors' and researched newspaper articles and wrote one of our own about the fire for King Charles II......

First we practised sketching rollercoasters. Then we experimented mixing colours with paint. Next we created our background by mixing the colours we wanted.
