YOUNGSTERS at Ashperton Primary have been sand-dancing back in time this week, by dressing up as Ancient Egyptians.

Pupils in the school's Green Class have been studying the mysterious land of the pyramids and King Tut this term.

And on Wednesday, history really came alive, when the children got the chance to try on Cairo's latest fashions, from circa 3000 BC.

And there were plenty of would-be Tutankhamens and Nefertitis having fun as a result.
