What I know about London

To introduce our topic ‘The Great Fire of London’ we started by drawing on our existing knowledge of London.  We discussed the questions:

• Have you ever visited London?
• Where did you go?
• Why did you go there and what did you see?

We then looked at Google Earth and Digi Maps and zoomed in and out to explore what London looks like from street level and from a bird’s eye view.
We made a list of all the things we know about London and the places that we had visited.  We then thought about any other famous landmarks in London we know and discussed:

• How do we know about this place?
• Why is it famous?
• Why do you think people visit this place?
