CHILDREN took a step back in time by wearing Victorian costume for a trip to Ryedale Folk Museum, at Hutton-le-Hole.
Pupils of Pickhill CE Primary School are learning about the Victorian era, so the girls dressed in long skirts and shawls and boys donned flat caps, trousers, waistcoats and braces. They saw old-fashioned shops, thatched cottages and the Elizabethan manor house at the open-air museum.
While the girls spent the morning doing laundry, scrubbing floors, baking cakes and making cheese and butter, the boys tried gardening and farming.
In the afternoon, the 39 children joined in Victorian games such as hoop-la and enjoyed a coconut shy.
Headteacher Rosemary Hayes said: "They love dressing up and all looked wonderful. We had a lovely day."
