Writing in year 2

This term in writing we are exploring the events of The Great Fire of London! We are learning all about how the fire started, why is spread so quickly, what they used to try and put out the fire and what it was like for all the people living there. 

Useful links for you to explore with your children to dig further into their understanding of the event:
