​This week we have been learning about the Great Fire of London. Did you know that it destroyed 13,200 houses and 87 churches? In English, we have been learning about the parts of a newspaper and have used these to create our own. We had to make sure that we had an exciting headline. Our favourites were ‘London’s burning!’, ‘ Bakery causes chaos!’ and ‘ Fire spreads rapidly’. These are short so that the reader picks up our newspapers to find out more. On Friday, we had to include our favourite facts that we had learnt. Did you know that there had been a drought before the fire started? This meant that the land was really dry, making it easier for the fire to spread.
