The Great Fire of London KS1

Alternatively you can choose two of the following options to customise your afternoon visit: The history of fire marks, the plague or wattle and daub. Coming soon – the history of the fire brigade.A photo of victorian clogs.

Houses and Homes KS 1
A half day morning visit which looks at how homes have changed through time with an interactive ‘hands on’ approach. The children will travel over the magic bridge and meet a character from the 1600’s to compare and contrast houses now and then. The children will take home some ‘wattle and daub’ panels that have been constructed during their visit using clay and willow.
