During our Great Fire of London workshop children will learn about King Charles II, who returned to power just six years before the fire struck. They will hear how the king actively tried to stop the fire’s progress, ordering houses torn down and fire breaks created.
Our Great Fire of London workshop allows Key Stage 1 children to explore the “ashes” of the fire (archaeological dig boxes). After experiencing the “fire” in the morning, the children will use archaeological techniques to investigate the dig boxes and record their findings.
During our Great Fire of London workshop children will learn about significant people such as the diarist Samuel Pepys and King Charles II. They will also gain an understanding of the cause of the fire, its rapid spread, destruction of London and the rebuilding of the City.
Please talk to us about your Special Educational Needs so we can accommodate your children’s requirements.
Off the Page presents history the way you wish you had learned it as a child. Our experienced teachers immerse your children in a topic to create an unforgettable learning experience. Our school workshops are no mere presentations with a bit of artefact handling – we build an atmosphere using authentic materials, allowing children to live the history through drama, roleplay and hands-on activities. The result is an understanding and enthusiasm for a topic that is difficult to create with books alone.
