The Great Plague of London (KS1)

Children learnt about Samuel Pepys and the Great Plague of London. Key questions were:
• What was it like to be in London at the time of the Plague?
• What did people do?
• How do we know?

The aim was for children to:
• learn about and understand a past situation and enter into past lives
• understand the sequence of events during the Plague (chronology)
• read and understand challenging texts
• revisit and consolidate their understanding of the diary and instruction genres.
