  Year 2 have had a great time learning more about the Great Fire of London this week, thanks to our special visitor. They enjoyed learning about the ‘wattle and daub’  construction technique, which was common in medieval London and contributed to the rapid spread of the Great Fire of London in 1666.   They then enjoyed working in groups to create their own wattle structures using wooden sticks/branches, creating a grid-like pattern. The children enjoyed creating their daub mixtures for the walls and  getting their hands muddy as they coated their structures to create walls.   For their second task, the children investigated materials and after team discussions chose which were best to use to rebuild Thomas Farriner's bakery. The children created fantastic waterproof and windproof bakery’s using suitable materials! They were even thinking about which materials had the best fireproof qualities. Well done, you did a great job Year 2!
