Class 8 Great Fire of London drama workshop

Class 8 have had such a fantastic morning in our drama workshop today. We had a fantastic lady who was in role throughout the session, talking about the great fire of London and recapping the children’s learning whilst adding to it with the great knowledge that she had on the subject. She pretended to be a baker at first and then became Samuel Pepys. The Children were answering and asking lots of questions and she was very impressed with what they knew. They did their own freeze frame pictures and acted out a story in groups, as well as singing rounds of London’s burning! We all thoroughly enjoyed the experience and got so much out of it! Well done class 8, I am so proud of your learning on this subject!

Class 8 fantastic writing

Class 8 have written their final drafts today and I was blown away with their editing skills. The pride that they are beginning to have in their work has improved massively already and I am so proud of all of them. Their vocabulary choices are fantastic and I am so impressed with their editing skills. Well done class 8!

Year 2 police visit

Key stage 1 have enjoyed their police visit today. They brought a police car and a police van for the children to look at and go in, as well as a police drone. This has not only inspired the children about their learning of local heroes but also given them huge aspirations for future jobs. I hope they tell you all about it tonight!

Class 8’s fantastic diary entries

Today the children discussed how it would feel to be in the middle of the great fire of London and spoke in full sentences with their talk partners about what they would see. They came up with some fantastic vocabulary and I was blown away with their first drafts. I have included a small sample in the photographs. Well done Class 8, keep up this fantastic learning,

KS1 Workshop Information – the Great Fire of London

Next Thursday, 28th September, KS1 are looking forward to welcoming a drama workshop group into school to find out more about the Great Fire of London. As part of this immersive experience we would like to invite children to get dressed up as a child from the Tudor period. Please see pictures attached for some inspiration. Whilst we would love to see as many children as possible dressed up, please do not feel the need to go to any expense for this as it is optional and children will still benefit greatly from the workshop experience whether dressed up or in uniform.

Thank you for your continued support, the KS1 team x
