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

Activity 1: Ready to Roll

In the 1970s one of the most common television programmes was called ‘Ready to Roll.’ It was broadcast on Saturday afternoons and hosted by a man named Roger Gascoigne. During the show, Roger would introduce music videos and then play them for the TV audience. He also invited famous people to come onto the show and perform songs that were currently popular.  

Watch the following three clips that were shown on the Ready to Roll programme:

Golden Harvest

Ray Columbus and the Invaders

New Zealand Underdogs

My first one would be Ray Columbus and the Invaders.

Then my second one would be Golden Harvest.

My least favourite would be New Zealand Underdogs.

Bonus Activity: The Three Rs - Rugby, Racing and Running

In the 1960s, sport in New Zealand was dominated by the three R’s – rugby, racing and running. The national rugby team, the All Blacks, had a great decade, winning 36 of the 40 games that they played. Many kiwis also spent their weekends at the local racetrack and, in 1960, Peter Snell won a gold medal in the 800m race at the Olympic Games in Rome, Italy. He followed this up with two more gold medals in the 800m and 1500m races at the 1964 Olympic Games.

During the 1950s the population of New Zealand grew by 400,000 people. That is huge! In fact, so many people were having babies that many people refer to this period in our history as the ‘baby boom.’ Popular baby names in 1950s New Zealand were:

GIRLS BOYS

Christine John

Susan David

Margaret Peter

Judith Michael

Jennifer Robert

Read through the lists. Are these popular names in your school? On your blog, tell us which names are currently popular in your school. Please provide, at least, three girls’ names and three boys’ names that are popular.

When I was going to school, the name ‘Jennifer’ was the most popular girl’s name and the name ‘Matthew’ was the most popular boy’s name.

I am telling the truth the on the list only one of the children have this name which is Peter.We don't have any girls on the list that are named like that I think in 2017 the names are very intrusting.

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.
