What is the history of London?
In today's lesson, we join Miss Browne in discovering how the city of London was founded, and looking at the three main different groups that settled in London. We then learn about how London was almost destroyed twice! We will create a timeline of our learning so that we can easily see the changes that took place in London over time.
