23rd Jan 2025 | Posted In Follifoot, Spofforth

The children in Years 1&2 across The Federation had a great day on Tuesday 21st January at Spofforth School. They learnt how to build Tudor houses using natural materials. They then had a go at fire lighting in bowls using fire steels, steel bowl and cotton wool. After lunch, they re-enacted how buckets of water were passed from the River Thames to put out the fire. Then, they moved on to making damper bread on a fire. The Great Fire of London was started in a bakery. Children had a go at making their own bread on a fire, using basic ingredients of flour and water. Whilst some children waited to make bread, they had a try at soft archery. A busy day but lots of fun!
