This unit links an important event beyond living memory in British history, the Great Fire of London, with a famous person, Samuel Pepys. Children develop their sense of chronology and consider why the Great Fire happened; its results; and the different ways it is represented.
The approach could also suit the study of other famous events, eg defeat of the Spanish Armada, the Gunpowder Plot, Coronation Day, Armistice Day.
