Y1 History: Fire! Fire!

16th Oct 2023

Today the children have been learning about how fires were tackled and put out at the time of the Great fire of London, in 1666 compared to now.

After studying a video and investigating various images, photographs and artefacts including, buckets made from different materials including: leather, metal and plastic, the children enjoyed role-playing 'The bucket' Brigade', using a stirrup pump and seeing the squirt (with pressure) from a simple hose. The children found it very interesting.
