Good morning everyone!
How are you? I hope you are all well and staying safe (and sane!) at home.
Today is 18th June, which, among other things, marks the 78th birthday of Sir Paul McCartney, who was the bass player in one of the most famous bands of all time... that's right, my favourite band, The Beatles! Paul McCartney wrote the vast majority of the Beatles' songs together with his band mate and songwriting partner, John Lennon. I am sure you will already know a lot of their music from having spent time in the classroom with me, but maybe you could listen to some Beatles tracks today to celebrate? Let me know which ones you like best.
One of the Beatles' most famous songs was the first thing to be broadcast live worldwide via satellite, on 25th June 1967 - which links quite neatly (if a little tenuously!) to this week's Space topic. The song was called 'All You Need is Love' and you can listen to it here. Listen carefully to the words - there are lots of really inspiring messages there alongside the main theme. Why not make a poster or piece of art reflecting the words from the song? Don't forget to send me a picture if you do!
If all this Beatles-themed work has inspired you to find out more about the best band in the world, you could always check out the educational resources from the Beatles Story Museum in Liverpool, which can be found here. The resources are designed for teachers to use in class so you might need to ask an adult to help you with some of them.
Have a wonderful day!
