2P have been History detectives as we explored the events of the Great Fire of London. We pieced together evidence to see if we could work out who or what was to blame for the fire starting and spreading. We discussed the evidence from different sources and concluded that it was the result of several factors, including the weather, Thomas Farriner, the Lord Mayor of London, and the way houses were built. We followed that up by looking at evidence from different artefacts that archaeologists have discovered, along with diary evidence from Samuel Pepys, to work out what we could learn about London in 1666. We are getting really good at identifying the cause and effects of events at the time!
