On Tuesday afternoon we had to examine different historical sources, and assess their advantages and disadvantages.

We were given some World War Two food to try. This included brawn, tongue, spam, carrot chutney, pickled cabbage, lemon curd and apples with condensed milk. Some food items were more popular than others!




We also looked at some primary sources, including diary extracts and recipes.







Another source was secondary sources - books.

We also used the Internet to find out information.

Mrs Davies's parents were also brought in as a primary source. Some very old artefacts indeed!




I wish I had some video footage of the children's faces as they tried the Cod Liver Oil. I never thought I would laugh so much during inspection week!
