History

We have just finished learning all about the four countries, capitals and castles of the UK. What are the four countries of the UK? What is the capital city of each country? What is special about the castle in those cities?

Let's start something different. Here is a website to help you learn where and how the Great Fire of London started.

The Museum of London broadcast a live stream all about where and how it started. Watch it here and find out these facts, please.

The date it started.   The address where it started. The building where it started. How it started in that buidling. Three reasons the fire spread so very quickly.

You will need answers ready to use when we dramatise the events next week, in school.

You can also experience the events in minecraft.
