Joining instructions will be provided after booking.
Most people are familiar with the story of the Great Fire of London and this workshop will cover the essential details such as it’s break out in Pudding Lane at the bakery of Thomas Farriner, the course of destruction over four days, Samuel Pepys as an eyewitness and the longer term consequences for the city.
However, it will also explore the event in more depth, in line with OFSTED expectations.
It will show how the city of 1666 was already on edge, dry as tinder, recovering from the Great Plague of the previous year, and how people were all too ready to blame foreign saboteurs at a time of war rather than inadequate fire fighting techniques or high winds.
Content will be arranged around rigorous enquiries questions linked to second order concepts with suggested activities that could form the basis of a medium-term plan.
The sessions will be led by Andrew Wrenn, a knowledgeable history specialist and an honorary fellow of the Historical Association. He is an experienced teacher, trainer and writer, former LA adviser and co-author of the HA`s report on Teaching Emotive and Controversial History 3-19. Andrew recently led highly evaluated training on the impact of the new OFSTED framework on Primary History
