What was it like during The Great Fire of London? 🔥

Today in our experience lesson we thought about chaotic the streets would have been during The Great Fire of London. We had to dodge the horses and carts and even jump over the poo 💩

We then had a go at up-levelling some basic sentences to include some year 2 features. I can’t wait to see your writing tomorrow Crew Robson 🥰

The Great Fire of London 🔥🏠

After building our houses yesterday, today we recreated the Great Fire of London. We all sat and watched how quickly the fire moved from one house to the next so quickly – it only took 30 minutes to burn down all of the buildings, like the 3 days it took for the Great Fire of London. We spoke about what language we could use in our writing such as fire, smoke, spreading, roaring, burning.

Day 2- Crew Marsh working hard to get smart in English

Today I had the pleasure of spending an hour with Crew Marsh during their first English lesson. They listened again to the Rainbow Fish story and talked about how this linked to our ‘be kind’ HoWLs. Then they completed some activities linked to their ‘be kind’ story to help them to really understand the importance of being kind in Crew Marsh and how being unkind can make people feel.

I was blown away by the way they all concentrated throughout the lesson. They carefully watched Miss Marsh model sentence writing and then had a go. I cannot believe how amazing they did. I also loved seeing the children work independently in their labs creating their fish.

Rainbow fish experience lesson 🐠

In Crew Marsh we read and unpicked the book Rainbow fish, we learnt that the fish was not kind at the start of the book but became kind towards the end. We linked this to our be kind Howls. Then the children created their own rainbow fish which is going to go in our crew kindness fish tank. All children did an amazing job at describing their rainbow fish with an adjective.
