Hello.

My name's Mrs. Casey.

What's your name? Great.

I am so excited to join you for this history lesson today.

Today's lesson is called Photographs of Britain in the 1960s and '70s.

It's part of the history unit, photographs from history.

What can they tell us about Britain's recent past? In today's lesson, we're gonna be looking at photographs that were taken in the 1960s and 1970s, and looking for clues about what they tell us about life in the 1960s and 1970s, just like historians do.

<v ->Should we get started?</v> By the end of today's lesson, you'll be able to use photographs to describe some of the features from the 1960s and the 1970s in Britain.

Here are today's key words.

These are words we're going to be using throughout the lesson today.

Don't worry if you haven't heard them before.

We're gonna be learning about them together.

Listen carefully and I'll read them to you.

Are you ready? Fashion.

Childhood.

Protest.

Are you ready to have a go at saying them? My turn, fashion.

Your turn.

Well done.

My turn.

Childhood.

You have a go.

Excellent.

My turn.

Protest.

You have a try.

Well done.

Let's learn what our keywords mean.

Fashion is the style that is popular at the time.

Childhood.

The period of time when someone is a child is their childhood.

Protest.

A protest is when people take action because there is something they want to be changed.

Listen out for the keywords during the lesson.

There are three parts to our lesson today.

What do people wear? What was childhood like? Why did people protest? Let's get started with what did people wear? I wonder what did the people wear in the 1960s and '70s? Can the photographs tell us? The 1960s and 1970s was a time in the past.

Here is a timeline showing us 1900 to 1940, 1950, 1960, 1970, 1980, 2000, and the present day.

Here are some important events in history.

The 1960s and the 1970s happened over 50 to 60 years ago.

Historians can learn about the 1960s and 1970s by looking at photographs.

Do you like looking at photographs? Can you think how else historians might be able to learn about the 1960s and 1970s? Have a think and talk to the person next to you.

Here are some ideas the Oak pupils had.

"They could read newspaper articles and diaries." "They could look at items people used back then." "They could speak to people who were living at that time." Do you know anyone who might have been living in the 1960s and 1970s? Time to check what we've learned with a true or false.

Is this statement true or false? "The 1960s and 1970s is a time in the future." True or false? What do you think? Well done.

That one is false.

It's not a time in the future.

Is it false because A, the 1960s and 1970s was a time in the past about 50 to 60 years ago? Or B, the 1960s and 1970s was a time in the past about 200 years ago.

A or B? That's right.

It's A.

The 1960s and 1970s was a time in the past about 50 to 60 years ago In Britain, in the 1960s and 1970s, people started to wear less formal clothing.

There was a lot more fun.

The fashion was to wear bright colours and big patterns.

The miniskirt, which is a skirt that was short and above the knees, became very fashionable, long coats were also very common in the winter, men often wore colourful shirts, ties, and patterned trousers.

Roll neck jumpers were popular.

That's jumpers that are right up under our necks.

Flared jeans were also popular in the 1970s, as well as long floaty dresses.

Here are some pictures of clothes from the 1960s and 1970s.

There's a photo of a very colourful big pattern dress from the 1960s.

Here is some flared trousers, and some very brightly coloured suits.

In the 1960s and 1970s, the fashion was to wear bright colours and big patterns, just like these examples here.

Can you spot any of the 1960s and 1970s fashion items in this photograph? Here's a photograph of people walking down a busy street in the 1970s.

Historians can use it to see the type of things people were wearing.

What can you spot? Here's someone wearing flared trousers, someone in a mini skirt, someone wearing a colourful shirt.

In the 1950s, most people made their own clothes at home, but by the 1970s, buying clothes in shops had become popular.

People enjoyed going shopping to buy clothes.

Do you make your clothes or do you go to shops to get them? In this photo, we can see people enjoying days out on busy shopping streets.

Let's check what we've learned.

Select the items which were fashionable in the 1960s and 1970s.

A, hoodies.

B, flared trousers.

C, colourful shirts.

D, mini-skirts.

Which ones were fashionable in the 1960s and 1970s? Flared trousers, colourful shirts, mini-skirts were items that were fashionable in the 1960s and 1970s.

Hoodies are popular today.

Here is our first task.

Well done for listening so carefully.

Describe to your learning partner what people wore for fashion in the 1960s and 1970s.

You could include these words.

Fun, popular, brightly coloured, flared.

Pause the video and have a go at task A.

Excellent discussions, everyone.

Your answer might have sounded a little bit like this.

"In the 1960s and 1970s, people wore more brightly coloured and fun clothes.

These included coloured shirts, ties and trousers.

Flared trousers and mini-skirts were popular too.

Now it's time to move on to the second half of today's lesson.

What was childhood like? Let's see if photographs can tell us about what childhood was like in Britain in the 1960s and '70s.

Here is a photo that was taken in the 1960s.

What can you see the children doing in this picture? The children are playing outside.

Can you see some of the children playing with a ball? What's your favourite toy to play with outside? For some people, their childhood in the 1960s and 1970s was fun.

Children enjoyed playing football, riding their bikes, climbing trees, and playing with their toys, just like some of the children in this picture.

Television sets were also becoming popular, but not everyone had one.

They also only had a few channels.

People watch TV as a family activity.

Lots of people would play outside in their homes and in the streets.

The streets were not as busy with traffic as they are today, so it was safer to play outside.

Construction kits, toy dolls and dolls houses, toy garages, cars, and board games were also really popular in the 1960s and '70s.

In the 1970s, plastic toys became available, just like the ones in the pictures here.

What are your favourite toys? Let's check what we've learned.

Choose the correct word to complete each sentence about childhood in the 1960s and 1970s.

One.

Children played or worked outside their homes.

Many new toys were made from wood or plastic.

Can you choose the correct words to complete the sentences/ It's played.

Children played outside their homes.

And plastic.

Many new toys were made from plastic.

In the 1960s and 1970s, children went to school just like they do today.

School classrooms were very similar today with a few differences.

Can you guess what differences were? They didn't have technology and interactive whiteboards like lots of classrooms do today.

In the 1960s and '70s, most classrooms had a big blackboard that the teacher wrote on with chalk instead of using an interactive whiteboard like you might do today,.

There were no tablets or computers.

The children use textbooks, reading books, and paper, and exercise books.

Let's check what we've learned.

Match the classroom item to the correct type.

Chalkboard, interactive whiteboard.

When did chalkboards match to? Today or the 1960s and '70s? That's right.

Chalkboards were used mainly in the 1960s and '70s.

Interactive whiteboards are found in classroom today.

Here is our second task.

Identify whether each statement about childhood in the 1960s and '70s is true or false.

A, children played outside their homes.

B, children played with plastic toys.

C, children went to school.

D, children had to work in factories.

Decide if the statements are true or false.

Pause the video and talk about it with the person next to you.

Children played outside their homes in the 1960s and '70s is true.

Well done.

Children played with plastic toys is true.

Well done.

Children went to school.

Excellent.

That one is true as well.

Children had to work in factories, that one's false.

And now we're ready to move on to the third part of today's lesson.

Why did people protest? Protest was one of our key words.

Did you spot it? Can you remember what it means? I wonder.

Here is a photograph of a protest in 1970.

What do you think is happening in this photograph from 1970? We can see that people are marching down the road carrying signs and banners.

A protest is when people take action against something they want to be changed because something they think is unfair or not right.

People might march or stand with signs they have made to make their point.

Sometimes protests are about people being treated unfairly.

Other protests are about issues that people feel really strongly about, like protecting the planet.

We know that there were protests in the 1960s and '70s because of photographs like this one.

In this photo, we can see people protesting by holding up signs and marching down the street.

The photographs are really useful because they help us to know what issues were important to people at the time.

This is a photo of a protest.

The people are protesting because they think that something is unfair and should be changed.

"A protest might involve marching in the streets, and carrying banners." "People protest when they believe things are not fair or that people are not being treated fairly." Let's check what we've learned.

Change one word to make the statement correct.

People might protest when they feel they are being treated fairly.

Which words do you think needs to change to make this statement correct? Well done.

We need to change fairly to unfairly.

People might protest when they feel they are being treated unfairly.

In the 1960s and '70s, people were not always treated fairly.

Some people protested about it, as we can see here in the photo.

We know there were protests in the 1960s and 1970s because there are lots of photographs of the protests.

What can we learn about the 1960s and '70s from this photograph? A, some people were treated unfairly.

B, people used to protest with signs and banners.

C, everyone was happy in the 1960s and '70s.

Well done.

A, some people were treated unfairly, and B, people used to protest with signs and banners.

And now it's time for our third and final task.

Tell a partner what each of these photographs tells us about the 1960s and '70s.

You could include the words, childhood, fashion, unfairly protest.

Pause the video and have a go at the task.

Well done everyone.

Some great discussions you might have included.

This photograph shows us what clothes were in fashion in the 1960s and '70s.

For example, some people wore mini-skirts, flared trousers, and coloured suits.

This photograph shows us how some children played outside during their childhood in the 1960s and '70s.

They also had plastic toys like a plastic car, and this photo shows us that some people were treated unfairly in the 1960s and '70s, and they were able to protest about it.

They hoped this would help to change things.

Well done everyone, some great listening.

Let's summarise what we've learned.

Historians used photographs to learn about life during the 1960s and '70s in Britain.

Photographs can tell us that there were new fashions such as mini-skirts and colourful suits in the 1960s and '70s.

Photographs can tell us that children spent their childhood playing outside and not using much technology at this time.

Photographs can tell us that there were many protests in the 1960s and '70s as groups of people were being treated unfairly.

Well done everyone.

Bye for now.
