Our curriculum
What do you know about England’s capital city? Let’s find out all about London, including its history, transport and famous landmarks. Step back in time and discover what happened in the Great Fire of London. Where did it start? How did it end? Create a model of the bakery on Pudding Lane, then burn it to the ground to recreate the Great Fire. Stand well back and watch how the flames spread. London’s burning! London’s burning! Fire, fire! Fire, fire! Hang on, there’s someone new in town. Are you ready for the bright lights of the big city? Hop in a black cab and enjoy the ride. Come and visit our London Exhibition where you will learn about London’s history and the amazing landmarks within the city.
