Two worksheets encouraging children to think about how the great fire of London spread (focusing on materials houses were made from in 1666). Children can find the ‘true’ statements about how the fire spread, and in the second worksheet they can design their own fire-proof house. Both hand drawn (by me!). Ideal for year 2 or for strong readers in year 1.
Notebook, hide-the-verbs activity and worksheet included.
My year one class loved this lesson - I hid the bossy verbs around the playground and the children had to find them all and do exactly as Little Miss Bossy instructs! We came back into the classroom and they thought of their own , recording on the worksheet, then came up with bossy verb sentences in talk partners.
This led very nicely onto our work writing instructions about making Pumpkin Soup (eg. Cut up the pumpkin; boil the soup; blend the soup etc).
Three worksheets to help children imagine and describe what the Great Fire of London would have felt like. Encourages children to use their senses and imagination to think of adjectives to describe it. Differentiated with varying levels of scaffolding. Picture hand drawn by me.

Use capital letters and full stops.

Can be used at end of writing lesson as a self-checking plenary. Helped my year 2 class out a lot!

The lower ability task is a sorting activity where children choose which objects Christians might use and what they wouldn’t.
