A KS1 history lesson which teaches children about who Samuel Pepys was, his diary and why he is so important in recounting the Great Fire of London. Samuel Pepys’ diary is a key source for historians today in knowing what happened during the Great Fire of London. Pepys was able to describe the feel of London at that time and it is crucial that children learn about him.
In this session we have taken extracts of Samuel’s diary for the teacher to read to the children for them to hear first hand what Samuel wrote. Prior to this it is clearly explained to the children what a diary is and why it is important that we have Samuel’s diary today.
This resource is a powerpoint presentation and gives children extracts of Samuel Pepys’ diary. Alongside the powerpoint presentation is a worksheet which children have to use to recount in simple sentences what Samuel saw.
How I use this resource: This resource is a powerpoint which is shared at the front of the class with the children. The worksheet can be completed in small groups or completed whole class.
