Happy New Year from Hedgehog class!!

This week, as part of our learning on The Great Fire of London, we have been looking at how houses have changed though history. We looked at a timeline of different houses used before, during and after the events of the great fire. We found out that after the Great Fire of London, houses were built of stone and bricks instead of wood, I wonder why?
