In the mid-1930s, things began to change for the better in New Zealand. More
people were able to find work and receive a steady paycheck. They were still
careful, however, with their money and rarely, if ever, bought treats or gifts for
one another.
Imagine that you were able to travel back in time to visit a family in the 1930s.
What special gifts or treats would you like to bring with you? I would likely
bring blocks of Whittaker’s chocolate, bags of Jet Planes and Pineapple
Lumps, healthy food snacks, clothing, and games for the children. What about
you?
If i could travel back in time I would give them a house,furniture,water,food and toys so they could make another chance to make a living and they could get a job. Also they could buy cutlery. With their own money or if it was just a child, I would adopt them and make a living for kids and make them healthy.So there's my opinion.
Kia Ora Shyloh!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for taking part in this Summer Learning Journey activity with me and the rest of your class. How did you find it?
I really appreciate all of the things you'd like to give to a family in need from the 1930's— everything you list is incredibly beneficial, but I just want to acknowledge your incredible ability of aroha! The fact that you would adopt a child in need is absolutely wonderful and I am truly impressed. How many children do you think people had back in the 1930's?
I really look forward to reading more of your work when the SLJ kicks off on the 17th (that's only 4 days away... eeek!)
Kia kaha and have a great day!
