London’s Burning in Year One

Year One learned the song ‘London’s Burning’! 🔥 They performed together as a class using musical instruments and even managed to sing the song in rounds which was quite the challenge! 🎶 They sounded fantastic as they performed but also know that during the real fire in 1666, they couldn’t have ‘fetched the engine’ as […]
