      Please note: this resource was created prior to the 2014 National Curriculum.

      This was originally part of a 7-week unit looking at the Great plague of London, the Great Fire of London, and Samuel Pepys as a famous person.

      The children had posed their own questions about the fire; we had told the story of the fire from Samuel Pepys' perspective; the children role-played trying to put out the fire with hooks, squirters and buckets of water; and they examined pictures of said equipment and of London before and during the fire.

      Here we take the investigation further, through:

      • reading genuine historical sources, pictorial and written;
      • debating causation;
      • and sequencing.

      The children communicate their understandings through structured writing, individually and in groups.

      Note that you need to download resources A and B. Resources B contains pictures of Pepys and the Fire.
