A lady called Helena came to see us too. Helena is from Norwich 1666. She wasn't in London when the fire happened. Helena asked us if we wanted to see what items they had in their houses during the time of the fire.
We were very interested in what all of the items were. Some of the items we saw were a lot different to our version of the item.
Some of the items were the same. This one was obvious, we knew it was a drinking cup.
This is a flintlock gun. It was quite heavy.
This is a gunpowder horn. The horn holds the gunpowder. The cork at the bottom gets pulled off and can be tipped into the gun. Helena demonstrated how this was done.
The walls of this lantern is made from bull horn.
The large white tower was exciting for us all. We didn't know what it was. Helena told us it is called sugar loaf. This is Helena's favourite thing. Samuel Pepys saved his cheese and wine, Helena said she would save her sugar.

Acorn class had a lovely time at Stranger's Hall.
