Place and Time: The Clothes We Wear




In a discussion with Debbie last week the children expressed an 
interest in the type of clothing people wore in the past. 
"I think they wore clothes that are old." thought Rielle.

The children studied the Western Fashion Timeline and were eager to share 
which style of clothing they'd like to wear.
All the girls chose their favourite dress.
Byron and Tyreese are happy to stick with clothes we wear today.
Rylan the 1090's or 1810's.

Everyone thought it very strange that long ago girls didn't wear pants and boys wore tights!















The children made paper dolls with clothing children wore long ago.
        It's a time consuming process as everyone needed help
with the fine detail cutting.
I helped them prepare the dolls and cut one outfit.
They may ask their parents for help with the others at home.
