1960's Day

In June, Year 6 held a 1960's themed writing day.


The children and teachers arrived at school looking fantastic in 1960's style clothes.


A busy day was planned for the children. The activities were: Song writing, John Lennon drama, 1960's disco and 1960's Word art.


For the song writing activity, they listened to the song 'Help!' by The Beatles. They discussed the lyrics and told a partner what they might need help with. They then went and wrote their own version of the song.


The children had a great time listening to John Lennon and hearing all about his life, the influence he and The Beatles had on the youth and popular culture of the 1960's and dancing to a few of the earlier Beatles songs!


Here are a few pictures from the day to show how much they enjoyed the day.
