Term 5 Project Based Learning

In term 5, we are having 2 3-week long projects, based on our topic of time travellers.

The first 3 weeks are based on The Great fire of London.

This week, the children were involved in some activities that increased their knowledge about the fire.

The first activity was a website game which introduced some of the characters that were around at the time of the fire.

It also includes challenges that have to be passed in order to move onto the next part of the story.

The link to that website is on the right hand side of our blog. Please have a play!


The second activity was to create a street scene showing the fire spreading.

The children used cereal boxes to create buildings and worked together as a team.

It's activity will carry on into next week as not all children had a chance to work on this.

The third activity was playing in our role play area.

It is set up so the children can pretend to be Samuel Pepys and write in a diary as the fire was happening.

The children are able to dress up in a costume to make themselves look like Samuel Pepys.
