This is Great Fire of London sequencing activity is a really good, hands-on way to help children understand exactly what happened over those few days. If you’re lucky enough to still have provision areas in KS1, then you could use our Great Fire of London colouring sheets as a great introduction to the topic.

There were no fire engines or fire extinguishers so people used leather buckets of water to try and put the fire out. The film then moves to Pudding Lane to show what it looks like now, the memorials and the spot where it all began. If you want any further information on the book or the first book Vlad and the Great Fire of London please visit www. Find out about the Great Fire of London through the story and illustrations, which are based on original sources and artefacts in this 2nd Edition of the bestselling book.We also have a new Great Fire of London timeline activity, that might be more appropriate for more able children.

It is linked to (but can be used separately from) the picture book Vlad and the Florence Nightingale Adventure.The powerpoint is editable to suit your specific audience but the illustrations are the copyright of Sam Cunningham so should not be used elsewhere.

Good basis for ideas and easy to adapt but resources or story map example would have been good - even if you had to pay more. Some people died in the fire, but we do not know how many as there are no accurate recordings from the time. After the Great Fire, fire brigades were started with groups of people whose job it was to put out fires, since the response to the fire had been so totally inadequate and disorganised. These are the same questions on the classroom fiction question sheets, but on one sheet that can be shared with parents. The Great Fire of London was a huge fire that destroyed around 13,000 houses, nearly 100 churches, and St Paul’s Cathedral in London, in 1666.The activities and objectives are included on the lesson plan and there are resource sheets and a planning sheet. They have been made with Key Stage 1 in mind and I have used these to make a class book for the book corner or library where children can share their ideas about books. This is a set of 5 lessons which focus on the personal testimonies of those caught up in the First World War.
