Emma's Findings

My Uncle wore shoes that had pieces of metal put into the leather by the toes and heels to make your shoes last longer. They were called segs. Every town had at least one cobbler or shoemaker. When he was in his teen years they had a sort of shirt called a dry shirt they were generally white. Cotton and wool mixes were used on clothes because man made fibres were only just coming into being. The only type of hat my uncle ever wore was dark green and navy blue school cap. Instead of having a mall they had all different shops for all different things. More about shoes i found out that nothing was popular then saddle shoes. They were black and white and looked like a sneaker. Another fashion was the ballet slipper. It was the popular choice and was often worn with cutie white socks. By Emma.s

If we didnt have these activities life would be really boring.
My favourites from entertainment today are Computer and TV.
I enjoy these activities because most other activities need a Computer or a TV to play them.
There are lots of things to do with a computer and a TV.
If you miss a show on TV you can watch it on the Computer.
On a regular day, if there were no such thing as all these activities, I would be eating and sleeping all day.

Jenna's finding

After interviewing my mum i found out a lot about fashion even about her fashion life and how she found it. First of all i found out that the fashion back then was not so different there are changes though like the leather jackets only bad boys would wear them but as my mum put them they were called teddy boys and that my auntie used to date one and is now married to one. I also found out that no girl wears frilled skirts like they did back in the days and you don't see much people wearing twin sets. My mum wore her first halter neck dress that was especially made for her she wore it to her first formal and said it was lovely to dance in. My mum went to shops in Dunedin called butter Fields and D.I.C and small department stores. The D.I.C used to be on the block that night 'n' day in the octagon is. In Dunedin when my mum was grown up the most expensive shop back then was Arther Barnett's if you wanted more expensive clothes. My mums sister was a dress maker so they didn't have to worry about buying to many clothes. Many there is differences to fashion but fashion is the same as other fashions though the days but fashion will carry on being dresses and jeans and skirts. By Jenna

From all my information i think farming has changed because they have better things,to use,more better motorbikes ,machines,tractors and trucks.on the farms,more cows and sheep than then.They had to do things with their hands and we dont really any more.in the olden days the things they did with there hands were feed out the hay,milk the cows and dug holes

Brittany's findings

My big question was how did cooking change over time:


I found some extra facts in the interview here they are: in the 1940s-1950s rice was a pudding they used a coal range to cook food they didnt have fridges or stoves/ovens

I would rather live now because: we have lots of options we have power for lots of things we have more food and liqards we have more jobs
we dont have to fight for our lives
