He explained all about the Great Fire of London and showed us what the houses were made from. We learned how we could easily spread fire when we were close together and even saw a real fire start from a tiny spark. Luckily, we learned how to pass a bucket of water in a chain - although it wasn't very lucky for Mrs Alcock when she was pretending to be the fire but she soon dried out. Afterwards we explored some objects from the time and investigated the materials used to make them. We also had a go at building a wood slat wall, played a game about the Great Fire and enjoyed some traditional toys. The children loved the visit and we all learned a lot about the Great Fire of London.
