A 7-slide picture-led lesson telling the story of the Great Fire as a narrative — the boring Sunday night, the spark, the panic, the King’s decision, the rebuilding. Designed to be shared with an adult and discussed slide by slide.

Every fact in the slides is from verified sources (London Museum, Britannica). The story is faithful to the documented timeline.

A 10-question quiz checking the core facts of the Great Fire of London. Every question can be answered from the worksheet and the e-learning storyboard in this pack. Self-marked with instant feedback.

A 12-card deck covering the must-know facts of the Great Fire: the date (1666), the place (Pudding Lane), the cause (Thomas Farriner’s bakery), the duration (5 days), the King (Charles II), the diarist (Samuel Pepys), the architect (Christopher Wren), the death toll (16), the destruction (13,200 houses, 87 churches), and the lasting reminders (the Monument).

Every fact is verified from museum and encyclopaedic sources.

An activity book covering the often-missed historical-enquiry strand of the KS1 history curriculum. The point isn’t just to learn WHAT happened — it’s to learn HOW we know. Each page introduces a different type of evidence: Samuel Pepys’ diary (written), period paintings (visual), surviving objects in museums (artefacts), the Monument (built memorials), and modern reconstructions.

Pages 4 and 5 ask the child to BE a historian — to compare two sources and explain what each one tells us. This is genuine KS1 historical thinking, not just fact-recall.

A planning companion for the Great Fire of London topic, mapping each resource to the relevant DfE NC KS1 history strand. The Great Fire is unusual in covering THREE of the four KS1 strands at once — events beyond living memory (strand 2), significant individuals (strand 3), and for London-area schools, significant places in their own locality (strand 4).

Includes a section on common Y2 misconceptions (when did it happen, who was the King, did Farriner cause it on purpose) and a five-lesson scheme that uses this pack’s resources.
