Here are two photographs that appeared in the Sleaford Standard 10 years ago this week.

One shows pupils taking part in a day of activities dedicated to years gone by, the other a glass workshop. Can you spot a familiar face among the groups?

As part of their topic ‘Britain since 1948’, Year five pupils at St Botolph’s School, Quarrington, had a dress-up day 10 years ago. Outfits were based on different decades. The children also learned to dance to Rose Royce’s Car Wash, Michael Jackson’s Thriller, and Whigfield’s Saturday Night. Other fun included: wool pompoms, pet rocks, flower power head bands, tie-dying, space hopper races, marbles, and Double Dutch skipping.
