Consider the design of buildings, the properties of building materials and the contrast between the materials used in modern buildings and around the time of the Great Fire of London. Make 3-D models and 2-D collages of Tudor homes, and re-enact the Great Fire of London with tissue paper 'flames'! Finally, a visit from ‘Mr Pepys’ will be the catalyst for the class to become estate agents!
