Year 2 thoroughly enjoyed their Fire Engine workshop today in preparation for our DT topic. Everyone was enthusiastic and very inquisitive with their long list of questions. Thank you very much to the local fire service who took the time to come and visit our school and talk about their roles as a firefighters. We now have many aspiring firefighters for the future!
We had a special guest from Durham University come and deliver a Great Fire of London workshop for our history topic. He was blown away by how much the children remembered about the fire from our previous lessons. In this workshop, we explored how we know about the Great Fire of London today considering there is nobody still alive from that time. We looked at artefacts, diaries and maps and discussed how these objects help us picture what happened all those years ago. The class enjoyed all the activities, especially the quill writing at the end!
