Pretend of an era as kids take a step back in time

Posted on March 28, 2008

Children and staff from Eaton Bray Lower School enjoyed a journey back in time when they dressed up as characters from different eras for a history day.

There were some colourful costumes on show, which included several wartime evacuees, wounded soldiers and pirates.

The history day has been linked into the children's learning programme.

Each pupil dressed as a character from the period in history which they are studying.

The school's head, Sue Hounslow, who dressed as a pirate for the day, said: "It was a big success. The children thoroughly enjoyed it and it helped them learn about history.

"Each. child does research from home and they gain a lot from it."
