Sweet Rations and Tap Dancing

1940s sweet rations.  

What better way to understand this than head to a nearby traditional sweetshop and order 4oz of sweets each, which was a child's weekly sweet ration during WWII.

A fun way to start the morning!

We burned off the sugar at the park under a beautiful January sky.


The Boy had an injection at the doctor's just before lunch which upset him a fair amount, so we set up a sweet shop for an extra bit of fun this afternoon.


The children used their ration books to order their sweets.

Paper bags made out of tissue paper.



Science and Spanish happened later this afternoon before two lessons of Tap and Modern dancing for this gorgeous girl.

Monkey Girl made her speciality shortbread.

And Sea Cadets for the two eldest.

G'night!
