HISTORY was brought to life for a group of enthusiastic youngsters.

Children at Fairfield First School, in Stourbridge Road, enjoyed an afternoon of fun and frolics when they relived the Victorian era last Thursday afternoon.

The pupils, aged seven to nine, donned Victorian garments and experienced what it was like to be taught at school in the 19th century.

Head teacher Jeanette Morris was thrilled with the day's events and said the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
