Primaries 2 and 2/1 were very lucky today! Mrs Hesketh was born in 1970. She brought in a record player and all her favourite records from when she was a little girl. We learned lots of new facts about our topic.

Mirin- You have to hold the records really carefully or they will get scratched. If they get scratched, they jump all over the place and we can’t hear them properly.

Aoibhe- We learned that it’s not just music. We can listen to stories too. Mrs Hesketh brought in the Peter Pan story for us to listen to.

Matthew, Christy- We listened to the Carpenters.

Adam- When Mrs Hesketh set the record player to 78, it was really funny. The voices were very fast and squeaky.

Cerys and Mrs Hesketh both brought in a disco ball! We decided to put out the lights, switched these on and dance to the records. We tried to dance like they did in the 1970s, with lots of special moves!
