CHILDREN at a New Forest school are getting all fired-up about their latest project.
Youngsters at Lymington Infant School are studying The Great Fire of London, which wrecked a large part of the city in September 1666.
The blaze is being studied by Year 1 pupils in a class called The Turtles.
Class tutor Katie Bethune said: "We are looking at how the fire began, what caused it to spread so quickly, and how it felt to be caught up in the disaster."
The project includes a drama workshop, with pupils portraying two bakers and the London diarist Samuel Pepys, whose journals included an account of the blaze.
The fire broke out in a baker's shop at Pudding Lane and soon became an inferno.
