Whilst the bonfire was being built at school we had a wonderful day at the Ancient High House in Stafford. We were transported back in time to 1660, the year of the great fire of London. We learnt about what life would have been like for rich and poor families at that time, we experienced some of the jobs servants would have had to do, we even had a go at building a wattle and daub wall. The children were really engaged in learning about the impact of the Great Fire of London, including how life changed after it had happened and how it started and spread.
