# What does a fire needs to burn?

  ![Image of What does a fire needs to burn?](https://files.schudio.com/st-marys-ce-primary-school/images/blog/IMG_4012.jpeg)  2 October 2026   [Miss Lambert](https://st-marys-colton.staffs.sch.uk/blog/author/MLambert)   [Class 1](https://st-marys-colton.staffs.sch.uk/blog/category/class-1)
