We are learning about the Great Fire of London in a cross curricular approach. In topic, we learnt why fire spread so quickly. In science, we’re learning about different materials and that wood is flammable. We know that the houses were built close together in Tudor London. So we conducted a science experiment to see if the houses we built would burn if they were spaced apart, or only if they were close together. We learnt that the houses that were close together burned down but ones that were spaced apart were safe.
