“Meet Mistress Jane Birch, maidservant to diarist Samuel Pepys and eyewitness to the Great Fire of London."
An interactive storytelling workshop in which pupils can dress up, role-play and handle objects.
Pupils will help Jane to tell her story, discovering how the fire started, why it spread so quickly, what Samuel Pepys and the citizens of London did to try and save their city, and just how much of London was destroyed.
Pupils end this multi-sensory workshop by creating a soundscape of London ablaze and singing the song ‘London’s Burning’.
