Over the last few days I've been researching the Great Fire of London, ready to do some writing on the topic with Year 1s and 2s at Streethouse school in Pontefract. I've been to this school a number of times and I LOVE it. The children are extremely enthusiastic, and Mrs Barlow is very much on my wavelength.
I had loads of fun writing a story about the Great Fire - now I just need to learn it so that I can tell it to the children tomorrow!
Fact I didn't know: The Lord Mayor of London, on seeing the fire in its early stages, said simply that a lady could urinate on it and put it out. Bet he felt bad four days later, and 13200 destroyed houses later. Wonder what happened to him?
