The Great Fire of London : Free TES Resource
The Great Fire of London is a popular topic, and this interactive version of a TES Teacher poster has been designed to help bring it to life for your class on your electronic whiteboard.
The aim of this online resource is to help children explore this event ?which took place beyond the memory of anyone now living ?through the eyes of four people who saw it.
It can help children to develop an awareness of what the term ?yewitness?means and why eyewitness accounts may differ.
Children can explore the image to find short, relevant explanations of what is going on in the picture, as well as finding out something about the lives of four important witnesses to the famous fire.

How do we know about the Great Fire of London?
This unit links an important event beyond living memory in British history, the Great Fire of London, with a famous person, Samuel Pepys. Children develop their sense of chronology and consider why the Great Fire happened; its results; and the different ways it is represented.
The approach could also suit the study of other famous events, eg defeat of the Spanish Armada, the Gunpowder Plot, Coronation Day, Armistice Day.
