Writing - The Great Fire of London Story - Lesson 1 - KS1

With the National Curriculum in mind, I have created a high-quality history lesson with a task attached about the 1666 Great Fire of London. The National Curriculum puts forward that history education should help children gain a chronologically secure knowledge, understanding of the past of the wider world. It should also inspire children’s curiosity to know more about the past and empower them to be confident historians.

This lesson focuses on the Great Fire of London Story, what happened? Children will listen to the story first with pictures. Children are encouraged to follow along the story line. Children will learn about when the Great Fire of London occured 1666, and where it happened Pudding Lane, London, England. Thomas Farriner’s bakery is also mentioned.

Included in this pack is a fully editable PowerPoint with a learning objectives and and task to sort the timeline of the Great Fire of London Story in the order of occurrence. There are two variations of the task, one to sort the pictures in order of occurrence and the second to also sort the pictures and then add a few sentences describing what is happening in each picture, There are 10 slides.
