Childhood and Toys

This project teaches children about everyday life and families today, including comparisons with childhood in the 1950s, using artefacts and a range of different sources.

Children will understand historical concepts such as continuity and change, cause and consequence, similarity, difference and significance, and use them to make connections, draw contrasts, analyse trends, frame historically valid questions and create their own structured accounts, including written narratives and analyses.

The Great Fire of London

In this history unit, the children will discover what London was like in 1666. They will make
simple comparisons between then and the present day. The lessons will move on to discover
what happened on the night of 2nd September 1666 when the Great Fire of London started.
They will discuss why the fire spread quickly and how it was tackled. The children will be
introduced to key historical individuals, such as Thomas Farriner, Samuel Pepys, King Charles
II and Christopher Wren. The children will consider how we find out about the past. They will
have the opportunity to study evidence, such as Samuel Pepys’ diary and objects left behind
after the fire, to help them form opinions about what happened over 350 years ago
