The Great Fire of London

 We welcomed in a very special guest to Year 2 today. Thomas Bludworth, the Mayor of London during the Great Fire of London came to visit us to tell us all about the Great Fire of London. He told us about the events of the fire, showing us some interesting artefacts and talking about his part in the story of the Great Fire of London. He also told us lots about the effect of the fire on London and how it improved London.
