• read Pied Piper of Hamelin and wrote our own stories about animals infesting our school
• learnt sketching and shading techniques and drew rats
• created dances to represent events from the plague
• used sources to answer the questions
  • what was London like in 1665?
  • what was the plague and why was it a problem?
  • why did the plague spread so quickly?
  • How many people were killed by the plague and how do we know?
  • Did the plague spread outside London?
  • How did people cope with having to live with dying relatives?
  • How did people try to treat or prevent the curse?
