The Dragons....saving Newcastle from the fire! Hooray! #dcpsdragons #dcpshistory
The Dragons braved the windy Quayside today to continue our Victorian journey. We started with the fab Richard to learn about the Great Fire of Gateshead and Newcastle which happened in 1854. We learned that in started in a cloth factory in Gateshead, then walked across the Swing Bridge to hear how a huge explosion then caused the fire to spread to Newcastle. In Bessie Surtees’ house, we used our knowledge of the Great Fire of London to talk how they stopped the fire spreading. After a well deserved lunch at the Baltic, we explored the bridges of the River Tyne and even had a go at making a few of our own. Well done Dragons on an enjoyable day and excellent behaviour. #dcpsdragons #dcpshistory
That History Bloke visited the Dragons yesterday. We had a lovely afternoon learning about life on the Quayside 164 years ago. We looked at Victorian artefacts and learnt about the different jobs people had and were quite glad we didn’t have to do some of them! This all set the scene for our trip to the Quayside! #dcpsdragons #dcpshistory
