History 

Our Year 2 historians had an unforgettable, immersive experience last week during our visit to Temple Newsam for The Great Fire of London workshop. The children turned into historical detectives, exploring the nooks and crannies of the huge house to hunt for potential fire hazards and investigate how a blaze might have started. The excitement continued as we brought 1666 to life through drama, with some of our children stepping into the shoes of famous figures! 

We saw fire hooks, used leather buckets and held water squirts to really understand what it was like in 1666! It was a wonderful day of active learning that truly brought our learning to life.
