Good morning,
I would like to apologise for the delay in not providing examples of costumes on the blog for our visit next Wednesday on the Great Fire of London. I have been informed this morning that the storage for photographs is full therefore, I could not upload any photos.

Please see our example of costumes to wear on our window in the classroom.

Boys clothing: white top, grey trousers tucked in socks, black waistcoat and flat cap
.
Girls clothing: either black, brown, dark blue skirt. White top, shawl and apron (this could be a pillowcase).

We have extra clothes in the classroom for the children if this helps.
Have a great day
Mrs Beadle
