Summer Term 2016
Our topic - The Great Fire of London
Over our Easter break children in Year One and Two were very busy researching information about the Great Fire of London. Children completed fantastic homework projects to display what they found out. They then taught each other all that they knew by presenting their projects to the class. They all did a super job, well done!
Here are just some (come and have a look in our classroom to see more) of their amazing projects...
