Great Fire of London

On Thursday 5th September, a large wooden box arrived in school for Mrs Kaushal.  The mystery box had been found in her aunt's garden.  The children all wondered what could be inside.  No one guessed the contents correctly.  

Three brave pupils carefully opened the box to find... some smelly cheese and a bottle of wine.

Mrs Kaushal's aunt thought that as Year 1 and Year 2 are learning about London they would like to see the box.  The children had no idea how smelly cheese and a bottle of wine were lined to London or The Great Fire of London.  

Mrs Kaushal searched for these items and The Great Fire of London.  The search indicated that these items were linked to a man alive at the time of The Great Fire of London called Samuel Pepys.  

The children will let you know why Samuel Pepys is connected to smelly cheese and wine.  

All children went outside to see the School's History Timeline to see if we could spot when The Great Fire of London occured in British History.
