Year five pupils at St Peter’s Primary School got a taste of days gone by, dressing up for the occasions and experiencing some of the daily activities of children in the 1800s.

The dress-up day celebrated the launch of a new topic for the children who will be exploring the Victorian era in their lessons during the coming weeks.
