CHILDREN were delighted to dress up in costumes created by a team of secondary school students.

The pupils from Epping Infant School on St John's Road, helped out a Year 11 Textile class from St John's School, Epping by trying on the costumes they had made.

Outfits including Minnie Mouse, a wizard, zebra and leopard had been designed and made by the pupils as part of their GCSE course work.

Textile teacher June Higginbottom said: "28 outfits in all had been produced by as many students who were keen to have their outfits modelled.

"Part of the brief they are given is to test their final produce and get some feedback from the users. The youngsters were happy to take on the role of make believe and the GCSE students are on their way to receiving some very good results.

"We are very grateful to the Infant school for helping the students with their task."
