Team EO - The Great Fire of London

1st March - In History, Team EO have continued our learning on the Great Fire of London. This week they have been ordering the events of the fire. They know that the fire started in a bakery shop on Pudding Lane as the oven fire wasn’t put out correctly and a spark fell onto the wooden floor. They know that it spread because the houses were close together, made out of wood and that it was windy! They also discussed the effect the fire had on London – like houses being built out of different materials and further apart!
