As part of Mid Calder Primary School’s 40th Birthday celebrations, we decided to look back across the last 4 decades at the news and culture of the 70s, 80s, 90s and Noughties.

As a homework task, P5 were asked to research a particular decade and share what we had found with the rest of the class. It was surprising how many things from 40 years ago are still with us, like Queen Elizabeth, Star Wars and James Bond movies!

We had lots of fun researching the fashions, movies and music of each decade and all our parents (and teacher!) were able to help us out with their memories of years gone by.

We thoroughly enjoyed sharing our learning with our parents and carers at assembly – we especially enjoyed dressing up in the fashions of the day!
