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.
