Pupils from an Ipswich primary school read their poetry out loud at a popular bookshop - before carrying out a book signing for parents and teachers.
The group of pupils from The Oaks School read their poetry, which is based on the question‘Fire: Friend or Foe? from their specially bound books, in front of a crowd of family members in the packed book store.
Philip Palmer, headteacher at The Oaks, said: “The children have been learning all about the Great Fire of London.
“We try to give the children the best opportunities we can give them. So getting their poems bound into a book, and for them to sell it and then do a book signing, is just a great day for the children and one of the highlights of the year for them.
“The sooner we can expose the children to these type of activities, for them to stand up and read out a poem, the better.
“They started the project by creating models of what Tudor London would have been like and then we took them out on the playground, set them on fire and watched them burn which was a great experience and a fun way to start the topic.”
