It was the decade that saw President Richard M. Nixon resign from office and the Bee Gees dominate music charts with hit songs such as Stayin’ Alive.
The 1970s made a welcome return to The Lea Primary School in Harpenden last week, as staff and pupils showed fashion flair with their flares, not to mention the odd tie-dye outfit.
Headteacher Sharon Swinson said children and adults alike had fun as they harked back to that decade, to help celebrate the school’s 40th anniversary.
She said: “We even had a ‘70s ice-cream van arrive. It was just a fantastic day.”
On Saturday September 26, The Lea will again host a Lego exhibition, which will double as a fundraising event.
Last year the popular exhibition attracted an audience of over 1,700 people, and raised nearly £7,000 for the school.
