Week Three: The Post War(s) Era (1951-1999)

Activity 1: Meat and Three Veg

It was common for women in the 1950s to stay home with their children and raise their family. They were called ‘housewives.’ Many housewives followed a simple rule when they prepared the evening meal: the ‘meat and three veg’ rule. This meant that they prepared dinners that included three different vegetables and a type of meat (eg. beef, lamb, or chicken).

It is a good idear to eat meat and veg when I used to go to my antys house she used to give me one chican and brocole potato carae cucomer it is a good to become helthy but womans dont kneed to be housewifes because they have the right to go and make there life because womas life is not to be speend in the kichin all day the men should try how it feels like to be a housewife.Dont be scarred speck up tell eveyone if something is happing wrong.

Week Two: A Period of Change (1870-1950)

Activity 2: Making a Fashion Statement Red for inportant , Blue for question , and black for the main story

In the years following World War II, things slowly returned to normal in New Zealand. Soldiers returned home and settled back into regular life; and national sporting teams, like the New Zealand cricket team, got back together and started playing matches again. In the late 1940s, men and women would go to watch these events, men wearing hats and suits and women wearing dresses, hats, and gloves.

Compare the pictures of common clothing from the late 1940s to what you wear now (i.e. in 2017). Are they similar or are they quite different?

Week Two: A Period of Change (1870-1950)

Leslie Andrew VC 

A Railways Department clerk and the son of the headmaster of Wanganui East School, Leslie Andrew lied about his age so that he could serve overseas. He arrived in France in September 1916 and fought with the 2nd Wellington Battalion on the Somme before being wounded.

On 31 July the New Zealanders attacked La Basseville once again. The 1st 

Auckland Battalion was to hit the German defences while 2nd Wellington was to take the village and establish positions there. Shortly before 4 a.m. the New Zealanders began advancing behind an artillery barrage. Leslie Andrew led two sections sent to destroy the machine-gun position in the inn. As they moved forward, they saw that another machine gun on the nearby railway line was holding up other New Zealand troops. They rushed the position, killed the crew and captured the gun before turning back to their original objective. Approaching the inn from the side, the New Zealanders crawled through thistles to within striking distance. They threw in grenades and then stormed the position, killing some of the Germans and capturing a second machine gun.For his bravery and leadership during the attack, 20-year-old Leslie Andrew was awarded the Victoria Cross.
