DT Meets 1666: When Our Creations Faced the Flames!

The excitement was sky-high as the Year 1 children gathered to watch their carefully crafted Tudor houses go up in flames, recreating the dramatic moment the Great Fire of London began. As the sparks flickered and the smoke curled upwards, the children were completely immersed—gasps, wide eyes, and fascinated chatter filled the playground.

Seeing their designs burn just like the wooden homes of 1666 helped bring history to life in a vivid, memorable way, turning their DT project into a real-life learning experience they won’t soon forget.
