This week, Year 1 took part in an online drama workshop all about the Great Fire of London.
1,2,3 Who are we going to be?
Here we had to show actions for some of the main people from the Great Fire of London – Thomas Farriner, King Charles II, Samuel Pepys and the London residents.
Save our treasure
We heard about the ‘treasure’ that Samuel Pepys saved from the fire by burying his items underground – cheese, bottles and his diary but what would you want to save?
I would save my favourite teddy.
I would bury my toys.
Chaos on the streets of London
What sounds could be heard while the fire was burning? We created a sound ladder of all the sounds to show what the atmosphere would have been like.
- screams
- crackling from the fire
- cars horses trotting along (well done, Hollie – you remembered there were no cars at that time)
- people jumping out of windows
- people shouting help
- water splashing on the fire
- buildings crashing down
- people giving orders
- children crying
