Great Fire of London visitor – Y2

This half term our topic in history will be the Great Fire of London. We have a historian coming to visit and teach us about the Great Fire of London.

Our visitor is called Sir William Petty, he was a mathematician and member of the Royal Society during the time of the Great fire. He lost a lot of properties during the fires and studied the consequences of the Great Fire of London. He created plans for rebuilding London after also. He will be a friendly and eccentric man with lots of stories to share with our children throughout the day.
