Great Fire of London Experience Day
24.02.22
On Thursday 24th February, Year 2 travelled back to 1666 to experience life before, during and after the Great Fire. The children tried out various jobs of the time such as apothecaries, bakers, plague doctors and rat catchers. Next they stepped into a map of London and took on the roles of the King, The Mayor and Samuel Pepys. Finally, they became archaeologists and sifted through the ashes to see what they could learn about the occupants of London from the items they left behind.
