Autumn 1
What can we learn from the Great Fire of London?
In History this half term we will be learning about what London was like in 1666. We will learn what life was like for people, the jobs they did and the places they lived. We will learn how the fire started and explore some of the ways people tried to put it out. We will explore how things would have been different using today’s technology and we will learn about the role of the Fire Brigade. We will visit the Fireground Museum at Rochdale to find out more.
In Science we will investigate how materials can change their properties when we change the structure of the material. We will build bridges out of paper and find ways of making the bridge stronger.
In Design Technology we will design and build fire engines using wheels, axles and chassis. Our vehicles will need to move. We will learn to adapt our designs to fix any problems and we will learn to evaluate the effectiveness of our construction.
“We had a great time at the Fireground museum. James was really impressed with how much we knew about the Great Fire of London. It was brilliant fun to dress up and ride in a fire engine, and to slide down the pole!”

Our photo gallery
The children told James how people carried water in buckets from the Thames to try and extinguish the Great Fire. James showed us how fire fighters use fire hydrants to access water on the streets where we live. The children are excited to look for their nearest one!
"Emergency! Emergency!"
The children experienced driving a fire engine in this simulator. They collected points for answering questions. Maximum points for these children!
Dressing up was a big hit!
Driving the fire engine was the best bit!
Using the firefighters pole took a bit of practice.
There's not much space behind the driver's wheel.
We had a great time!
