Our next topic in Year 1 is The Great Fire of London. We will find out what happened in 1666, how it happened and what changed following this disaster.

In this history topic we will:

• Place the key events of the Great Fire into chronological order
• Investigate why and how the fire began
• Learn about Samuel Peyps and why he is important
• Discover what changes were made after the Great Fire
• Explore ways we can learn about the past.
