Year 2 Great Fire of London
Year 2 thoroughly enjoyed their morning with Professor Tuesday 4th March.
Professor Tuesday, a historian, is a Great Fire of London expert and helped us to weave the story of how this massive inferno took such a hold, destroying great swathes of London in 1666.
Children learned about different groups of Londoners in 1666: bakers, tailors, cheesemongers, oarsmen, carters and builders.
They built the city of London as it would have been prior to the fire and then, using an immersive history approach, retold the story of this great fire that destroyed so much of London.
London's burning, London's burning.
Fetch the engines, fetch the engines.
FIRE! FIRE!
Pour on water, pour on water.
A huge thank you to Professor Tuesday from Heritage Learning Lancashire for her visit.
