This week we were visited by Firefighter Rob who came to talk to us about his job and how he fights fires in 2023. He talked about the equipment that firefighters use and we compared it to the equipment used to fight the Great Fire of London. He also talked to us about how to keep our homes and ourselves safe.
Today a mysterious suitcase was delivered to school. It was a very old suitcase and we decided we needed to work out who it belongs to. We used the items in the suitcase as historical sources to find out about the past. We thought at first the suitcase might belong to a pirate or bird watcher as there was a compass and pair of binoculars but eventually decided the case belonged to a soldier from WW1 when we looked at the rest of the clues.
