Plague cross
We had taught the Year 2 class about Samuel Pepys and the Great Fire of London (KS1). Now we moved back a year in time to investigate Samuel Pepys and the Great Plague of London. The two lessons reported here are an amalgam of the teaching in two different schools - the teaching was more structured and literacy-based in the second school.

For resources to help with the lesson go to plague pictures and plague doctor.
