Year 2 Local History

Year 2 have thoroughly enjoyed their History unit on the Great Fires. After learning about the fire in London, we invited Richard to come and talk to us yesterday all about life on the Quayside in Victorian times and all about the Great Fires of Gateshead and Newcastle. Then today we took a metro into town and explored the site of the fire and how the Quayside has changed over time. We even saw the remains of the wall from the houses that were there in 1854!
