Build Along With Brickies: LEGO 17th Century Fire Engine

By |2024-05-20T13:39:06+01:00May 19th, 2024|Brickies at home, Build Along With Brickies|

Welcome to Our Build Along Series! Hello, Brickies! Today, we are continuing our focus on The Great Fire of London as part of our Build Along With Brickies series. Previously, we learned about the Great Fire of London and built a LEGO Tudor House. This time, we’ll look at how people in London in 1666 tried to put out fires and how their methods led to new firefighting tools. During the Great Fire of London, people used leather buckets, fire hooks, and simple water squirters to fight the flames. These tools weren’t very effective, and the fire caused a lot of damage. But this disaster helped inspire new ideas, like the 17th-century fire engine. While the fire engine we’re building today was introduced after the Great Fire, it shows how firefighting improved because of what happened in 1666. This fun activity will help you understand how firefighting tools got better over time. Bring the Great Fire of London to Life at Your School with Our KS1 Workshop! Teachers, elevate your students' learning journey by booking our engaging KS1 Great Fire of London LEGO Workshop. Our hands-on, interactive sessions make history come alive, ensuring education is both fun and captivating.
