Willingham Primary School

Years 1 & 2 Performance

Key Stage 1 has been working incredibly hard this week, and their efforts have truly paid off in their spectacular performances of 'The Great Fire of London'. Over the past few weeks, the children have been immersed in this historic event, bringing it to life through music, dance, art, and drama. 

They performed their play three times, showcasing their talents with confident acting, expressive storytelling, and wonderful singing. The pupils have practiced their fire dances in PE this term, and did a fantastic job of using ribbons to represent the flickering flames and chaotic scenes of 1666. Their artistic talents also shone through, as they created stunning fire-inspired artwork inspired by the Dutch artist Jan Griffier, whose famous paintings depict the devastation of the fire.

Most of the play was inspired by our history learning. This term, the children have delved into the past, learning about how the fire started, how it spread, and how it ultimately led to the formation of the Fire Brigade. Hopefully some of the audience learnt something new during the performances too!

A huge well done to all of KS1 for their dedication and hard work. We are so proud of you! Thank you to the staff and families for their support.
