17th Century England Research Project

Following our work done on 'The Great Fire of London' and 'The Gunpowder Plot', year 4 have been asked to prepare and produce a history presentation on 17th Century England.
They may produce a poster, a speech, a book, some drama, a model, a history lesson but it should be a group presentation where everybody has participated and worked together.


Here are some useful websites to help with the research:

Life in the 17th Century

17th Century Houses

Children in the 17th century

17th Century Recipes

17th Century Clothes

The Plague

Royalty 1600-1700

3D Shapes




Year 4 had a lot of fun making some 17th century houses for a 'Great Fire of London' display. We had to design, measure, and make a net for a cube and a square based pyramid/rectangular prism. We copied some geometrical patterns to make the houses look realistic and even drew on thatched roofs.
