    Your local library may have a reference section and be able to help find books that relate to the period you need.

        There's a few on here old enough to remember! *ducks*

        Just a quick look unveiled these:

        1940s Fashion and Style, Ladies Fashions from the 1940s

        1940's Fashion

        Food Rationing in World War 2 part 5

        This Morning | Food | A Taste of History 1940s - ITV Lifestyle

        The 1940's House

        1940's Sounds & Music

        JILL DANIELS WARTIME 1940s DOWNLOAD FREE WWII MUSIC SAMPLES

        Blimey, homework was never this easy when I was a kid! If we t'internerd back then (only 15-16 years ago!), I'd of done much better.

        Not sure if our very own Juke Box Queen (shirlthegirl) can shed some more light on this, I think she might be better at the '50s

        Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

            Try Marguerite Pattens wartime cookbook if you can find it. O even think there is a whalemeat recipe in it.

              LOL at Wayne ducking - now you are my height!!

              Agreed on the ease of homework with the internet. Mind you, I don't encourage ours to use it as much as books unless we can't find a book to help.

              As to the jukebox queen title (thank you soo much but they are really Madmax's territory) we can help when it comes to artists and music of the '50s but not much help otherwise.
              Happy Gardening,

                I've got a wartime recipe book that my bro gave me for Christmas, I could photocopy some pages from it and send them to you if you like.
                If my memory of school project work serves me correct, rationing was still about until the late 40's wasn't it?

                    Right, that's enough help already. Half the point of homework/research is being able to find the information for yourself

                      Well yes, but parents are supposed to give help and support, so asking questions and then the child following up in the info given seems OK to me. I wouldn't object to my students doing that, better than nothing at all, which a lot of us teachers battle with. It's good to see a parent who wants to help.
                      I could not live without a garden, it is my place to unwind and recover, to marvel at the power of all growing things, even weeds!
