How have people’s lives changed in living memory?
This half term we will be following a series of lessons that explore the ways in which life has changed over the last 60 years. I am sure they will bring back a few memories for all of you parents too. The lessons are provided by “Oak Academy” and are led by teachers.
Today I would like you to look at Lesson 1. In this lesson, we will learn about some of the ways in which popular music has changed over the last 60 years. We will learn how the ways in which people listen to music has changed over time and will look more closely at cassettes and CDs. We will then listen to some songs from singers and groups from the 1960s to 1980s. You will need a piece of paper and a pencil.
Afterwards maybe you could ask your parents and grandparents what popular music they enjoyed listening to when they were younger!
**HEADS UP FOR TOMORROW’S SCIENCE SESSION
Tomorrow there will be an experiment to try at home. You will need to get these things ready: twigs or a piece of wood, a plastic bag or cup, a glass cup, cardboard or paper, and a pair of socks or piece of fabric. If you do not have these materials, you can watch the lesson and record your observations of the experiment.
