Bread and Butter












This week in 2BP we talked about the food that would have been eaten in the "olden days". We looked at the daily menu of a child in the 1900's and compared the food with what we eat today. We all decided that we much rather eat the food we have today! As part of our learning on food from the past we baked bread and made butter in our classroom. It was fantastic to come into our classroom and smell fresh baked bread and it tasted really good. We topped the bread with the butter we made using fresh cream and a marble mixed in a container by shaking and golden syrup.

The mystery item from last week was a button hook used on a ladies shoe. In the past shoes had a lot of tiny buttons on them which were too small for fingers to do up and undo. This weeks mystery item is from the farm and was used on an animal. Good luck with you answers - don't forget to post your comment.

  20. I think it is a knife but my dad said I am wrong. He said he knows but is feeling sheepish about giving me the answer. Oh I get it. It is shearers from a sheep shearer. Dad said my great poppy used them to shear hundreds of sheep in a day.
