This half term, the children in Year 2 have travelled back in time to 1666 to learn about The Great Fire of London.
They began the topic by baking their own bread roll using traditional methods of mixing, kneading and proving, as well as shaping and baking their rolls to take home. The smell around the school was divine!
Following this exciting lesson, we launched into our journey back to the bakery in Pudding Lane where the Great Fire started. The pupils were introduced to Thomas Farriner and enjoyed a virtual session with the baker. He explained to them how the fire started, what he did during the fire and the events that unfolded afterwards. This then sparked a moral debate about Thomas Farriner's actions and as to whether he acted rightly or wrongly.
What fantastic insights into moral dilemmas and how to act when faced with difficult circumstances!
Well done, Year 2!
