History

 In history we have started learning about the Great Fire of London. This week we learnt about the events of the Great Fire and had a go at sequencing the events. We then looked at statements about the Great Fire and found pieces of evidence to support these statements.

 Inspired by our visit from the poet Tony Peek, earlier in the week, we have started looking at some poetry in our English lessons.

We then made our own candle holders out of salt dough.
