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

Activity 2: Bell Bottom Pants

Fashion in the 1970s was quite unique. Take a look at the pictures of a ‘typical’ 1970s outfit and tell us, on your blog, two things that you like about 1970s fashion and two things that you don’t like about the fashion of the day. I am not a huge fan of the patterned pants. What about you?

I like the girl in the middle because I like her shirt and her wight scert it reminds me of the old school day I also like the colours that they used in the girls' photo. I don't like the men photo because it is not bright and colourful it is dull I don't like how they dressed up. But they have their own taste of what they like and it is there chose of what they were but my vote is that the girl's photo is better. What about you?

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.

Activity 2: What’s in a Name?

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.
