Rations and Football

In 1940 Britain created the Ministry of Food and rationing began.  It didn't end until nine years after the end of the war.  The children made their own ration books and national registration identity cards.

The Boy made one for his most special Blankey and he even measured his 'height' to have all the correct information in his national registration identity card.


We measured out a weekly ration for an adult.  1 egg and 50g of cheese is not much at all.  Goodness.

After lunch the children worked solidly for two hours on English, Science and Spanish.




 Panda Girl had Grade 3 Ballet this afternoon.  The Boy was Star of the Day at Football!  And Ballet Girl and Panda Girl had an hour of Inter Foundation Ballet.
