The Beatles

(LRD issued on 28/4/09)

Many of us did not know who The Beatles were before today ---we thought that our teacher was talking about the adult form of our mealworm pets!

When we read the LRD article, we were astonished to find out that they were in fact, a very very popular "boy band" from Britain in the 1960s. (I think some of our P5 friends may have been singing some of their songs during their music Karaoke lessons!) Their haircuts were very unique and were called "mop tops". We guess that this might be because they look like mops!

The Beatles were so popular that they have recorded more number 1 songs than any other group in the United Kingdom chart history. This means that they were more popular than the Jonas Brothers, High School Musical or Hannah Montana!

According to p 13 of LRD, the word "Beatlemania" was used to describe the hoards of devoted fans, fashions and new music groups that they inspired.

We're going home today to ask our parents whether they were ever fans of The Beatles!

Below is a very famous picture of The Beatles. Look at their hair and their clothes!!

We should be careful when we are eating pork. It should be fully cooked about 70 degree celcius.?
