As part of our ‘When Gran Was A Girl’ topic, we’ve been investigating aspects of life in the past. Recently, we’ve been looking at how people listened to music.

Nowadays, it’s easy to stream music on your phone or tablet. However, this wasn’t possible in the past. Instead, people sometimes made use of something called a record player. This week, we’ve enjoyed having a record player in our class.

We enjoyed looking at how the record spun round while playing music. We also enjoyed lifting the needle to change songs. However, we had to be very careful when turning the record over to the other side.

Pretty cool stuff!
