Wednesday Week 5 Wider Curriculum – History

Can you prepare an historic feast?

Firstly, you are going to research typical food from a period of history we have

learnt about this year. This could be the Tudors, Vikings or Aztecs. Here are

some websites that may be useful as a starting point:

Tudors: http://primaryhomeworkhelp.co.uk/tudors/food.html

Vikings: http://www.primaryhomeworkhelp.co.uk/viking/food.html

Aztecs: http://www.aztec-history.com/aztec-food.html

After research the food that was typical of that time, you are going to

plan/design a meal. It could have more than one course, you could think about

food and drink, and you may want to consider how it would be served. Consider

whether the person you design the meal for is rich or poor – does this make a

difference?

Can you write a Menu, detailing what your supper will include? Perhaps you could

draw your meal –it’s up to you how you wish to present your plan/design.
