YOUNGSTERS travelled through time and across continents last week as background research for two projects.

Pupils at Feckenham First School dressed in traditional Indian dress while others kitted themselves out in Victorian clothes.

Teacher Mr Payne said: "As part of our geography project we are studying India, looking at different villages in India and comparing them to Feckenham.

"The children got involved with some Indian stick dancing and some Mendhi hand painting."

The class studying Victorian times invited a guest from Hartlebury Castle to come to them to speak about days gone by because their trip to the castle was cancelled due to the foot and mouth outbreak.
