Year 2 (Class 7) - History - Sir William Petty Visit

Class 7 and year 2 had a visit from Sir William Petty all the way from 1666.

He came and told the children all about his friends in London and how their houses were burnt in the Great Fire of London. He used tools from the past to explore what happened and why.

The children loved taking part in experiments pretending to be houses, discovering how the fire spread so quickly.

They also learnt how the fire was put out with the help of gun powder, the king’s men and lots of effort by the people of London.

The children had a fantastic day and learnt lots in the process.
