Year 2 History Work

Year 2 stepped back in time in their history lessons before half term to explore what life was like in 17th century London. Using a range of historical sources, such as excerpts from the famous diary of Samuel Pepys and maps (a big thank you to Willow’s Dad for sharing his artefacts with us), the children discovered how the Great Fire of London began and why it lasted five whole days! They were also inspired by artists of the time as they created their own dramatic scenes. Great work, Year 2.
