HISTORY lessons came to life for pupils at Witchampton First School when they received a visit from firefighters as part of their studies.
Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue taught fire safety as part of a Year 1 and 2 project on the Great Fire of London.
The fire started in a bakery in Pudding Lane in 1666 and the children have baked bead as part of the project.
They have also made Tudor houses out of cardboard boxes and dressed up in 17th century costume.
Head teacher Cathie Bolton said: "Studying a topic like the Great Fire of London is far more than just a history lesson for our children.
"We use themes from the topic to inspire us in maths, creative work and even personal safety. Thanks to Dorset Fire and Rescue we were able to teach them about fire safety and through making bread they have learned the cooking skills used by the real-life bakers of Pudding Lane."
