PUPILS have gone back in time to help celebrate their school's 150th anniversary.

Youngsters and staff at Kirkby Fleetham School, near Northallerton, have been dressing as Victorians all week and have also made a trip to Beamish Museum in County Durham.

Yesterday, they spent the day carrying out Victorian chores. Earlier in the week, they learnt how to make rag rugs and beat carpets.

Tomorrow, villagers and friends of the school will be invited in for a look round.

Infant class teacher Catherine Lawton said: "The children are all really enjoying the week. Obviously it is educational as well, but everyone is having a lot of fun."
