Time for a Sing-Song - A Blast from the Past in Newcastle's Schoolyards
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this nostalgic photo print, we are transported back to October 11,1972, when over 36,000 schoolchildren in Newcastle were given their very own version of Top of the Pops. But this wasn't just any musical extravaganza; it was all about safety. These talented youngsters showcased their singing skills and pop tunes with lyrics they had written themselves, all centered around an important message – getting over the Green Cross Code. Sergeant Noel Knox stands proudly amidst a group of children at Spital Tongues Infantsi School as they belt out their catchy tunes. The mixed-age range adds to the charm and camaraderie displayed by these young performers. Their medium-sized group exudes enthusiasm and teamwork as they join forces to spread awareness about road safety. This snapshot captures a time when education went beyond textbooks and traditional teaching methods. It highlights how creativity can be used effectively to engage young minds while imparting crucial life lessons. Through music and songwriting, these schoolchildren not only entertained but also educated their peers on the importance of following the Green Cross Code. As we gaze upon this treasured moment frozen in time, let us celebrate these spirited pupils who took center stage for both artistry and safety. This photograph serves as a reminder that even decades later, memories like these continue to inspire us towards safer roads and brighter futures for our children.
