For our topic for the next two weeks, we are going to be Time Travellers!
We are going to travel back in time to an era not so far away from our own – The 1960s
How do you think life might have been different 60 years ago? What do you think the television programmes were like? How did people dress? What music do you think was popular and what toys did children play with? All will be discovered on our time-travelling mission to the 1960s!

Don’t forget to practise your times tables on Times Tables Rockstars.

MONDAY
Over the next two weeks, we are going to learn all about what it would have been like to live in the 60s. We have been asked by the famous Time Traveller, Prospero Hermes, to carry out a pre-research visit to find out everything he will need to blend in when he travels to the swingin’ sixties. Can you prepare a diary entry about a typical day in the 60s so he knows how to act, what to pack and what to take with him?
.jpg)
English – Features of a diary
In order to do that, you will need to know how to write a diary and what types of language and features you will need to include in your own diary entry for Prospero Hermes.
Level 1:- Can you find the features?
Level 2:- Examine the features and the language that has been used.
How has the writer tried to help the reader imagine what has happened and what it was like there at that time?
Choose your own level of features to look for.

Topic – Past and Present
.jpg)
What do these words mean in history?
The past means any event or time that has already happened.
It can be centuries (100 years) ago, decades (10 years) ago, years ago or even hours ago.
The present means what is happening right now.
We are going to look back to a time in the past in history that was 60 years ago. We are going back to 1960. Can you find 1960 on the timeline?
What do you think might have been different back then? Do you think children played with the same toys? How did people contact each other?
Have a watch of this video here to see what you can spot might have been different in the 1960s.
While you are watching, think about these questions:
- What do you notice about the clothes people are wearing>?
- What do you notice about the toys the children are playing with?
- What is different or the same about your life?
Level 1:- Sort into two groups
Using the pictures of the items, can you sort them into items from 1960s and items from the present?
Level 2:- Sort into two groups and explain ideas about the similarities and differences we can see
Using the pictures of the items, can you sort them into the table, showing which items are from 1960s and which items are from the present? Can you write sentences to explain what you notice about three of the different categories?

Level 2:-
Today your learning is looking at exploring addition and subtraction and how you can apply them to a wide range of problems on Oak National Academy:
To explore addition and subtraction (part 1)
Topic –
What toys do you think they played with in the 60s? Watch this video about Birthdays in the 1960s. Can you spot any toys we still play with today?
Watch this video to find out more:
- How many of these toys do you recognise?
- How are they the same or different to toys today?
- Can you find out what other toys children played with during the 1960s?
Level 1:-
Look through the powerpoint to learn more about the toys that children played with in the 1960s.
Choose one the toys that are still around today. Talk to an adult about what is the same and what is different between the 1960s version and today’s version.
Level 2:-
Look at the adverts for all the different 1960s toys here. What materials do you notice? What features do you notice? Which toys do you think would have been the most exciting toy to play with? Why?
Adverts:
Choose your favourite toy that you would have liked most and write a short paragraph about why you have chosen that toy. Can you compare it to a toy you have today? What is the same about them? What is different?
WEDNESDAY
English –
Today we are going to look at using adjectives to add more detail to our writing.
Adjectives are any word that you can use to describe something.
Remind yourself all about adjectives using these videos below:
Year 1 English: Adjectives for Children
Year 2 English: Adjectives and Adverbs for Children
Level 1:- Add an Adjective
Can you think of an adjective to describe each noun? There are some ideas at the bottom if you find this tricky!
Activity: Complete the sentence
Now pick five of these to try. Here the adjective goes before the noun so that you can continue your sentence and add even more detail!
Level 2:- Expanded Noun Phrases
This activity is all about creating expanded noun phrases. This is where we describe a noun with lots of detail to create a descriptive phrase.
Use this Powerpoint to learn a little bit more about expanded noun phrases.
Powerpoint – What’s in the suitcase?
Can you mind map a range of adjectives for the objects that are in the suitcase?
Now use your ideas to write sentences about what was in the suitcase like this:
A ____________, __________ with __________ lay in the __________, ________ suitcase.
_____________ boots that have __________, __________ __________ can also be found in the suitcase.

Topic –
Find out a little more about what it was like living in the 1960s and what life at home would have been like:
How many televisions are there in your house? In 1960s, most houses had one TV.
At the start of the 1960s, there were only two television channels: the BBC and ITV.
You could not choose what you wanted to watch On Demand – you just had to watch whatever was on. The channels also ‘signed off’ in the evenings, which meant that you could not watch television in the middle of the night.
By the end of the 1960s, there was a third television channel: BBC2. It was the first channel which showed programmes in colour rather than black and white.
A well-known children’s programme from the 1960s was ‘Watch with Mother.’ This showed a different programme every day, including ‘Andy Pandy’ and ‘Bill and Ben.’
Why not watch an episode of Watch with Mother?
• Why do you think the episode is in black and white?
• Do you think children enjoyed watching these programmes? Why?
• Do you think the sausage dog is helpful or silly? Why?
• Do you think Bizzy Lizzy wished for sensible things? Why?
Many of these programmes have been remade for the modern day.
.JPG)
What do you notice? What differences can you spot? What is the same?
Level 1:-
Watch a range of other 1960s children’s programs to see what they were like:
Play School (The First Ever Episode - 1964)
Level 2:-
Watch these two episodes of Play School. What do you notice about the two episodes? These were only made 4 years apart. What changes must have occurred in the 1960s in television? Write down as many ideas as you can.
Play School (The First Ever Episode - 1964)
THURSDAY

Let’s use our ideas all about adjectives to write some descriptive sentences today.
Here is a picture of a 1960s suitcase. What can you spot? Can you spot some toys?
.jpg)
Use your topic learning to help remind you what these are called.
Level 1:- Simple sentences
Write some simple sentences about what is in this suitcase.
For example:
I can see a red yoyo with a long string.
There is a tall soldier.
A yellow van is a fun toy.
Level 2:- Compound sentences – fanboys
Using the picture of the 1960s suitcase and the items inside it, can you write some sentences using coordinating conjunctions?
