Today, we were comparing firefighters from 1666 to firefighters from 2023. We were due a visit from Stevenage Firestation but unfortunately, they had to attend an emergency. 

We still managed to learn all about being a firefighter and the special uniform that they wear to protect themselves. Sadly, in 1666 they didn't have a uniform and they weren't even trained in fighting fires! 

We saw artefacts from 1666 and they included leather buckets and fire squirts which were used to fight fires but they weren't as useful as the hoses firefighters have today. 

This afternoon, we were inspired by learning and wanted to paint our own fire engines.
