Class JT and The Great Fire of London

After the fantastic drama workshop last week, Class JT have been working hard remembering the facts about The Great Fire of London. The children have made timelines to record the events, written accounts of the facts and created art work depicting scenes from the time. The children are really enjoying this topic and it is reflected in the work they are producing.
