Edwardian Farm - Episode 3 & 4

1/9/2021

0 Comments

 
Episode 3 work continues on the farm as Peter, Ruth and Alex explore more possibilities to make money on the Edwardian Farm.  It is November on the Edwardian Farm.

The team plants their potato crop and use the latest in Edwardian technology in order to plant it.  They also use the tractor to do some chores around the farm such as making feed for the animals.  We also learn how the Tamar Valley was home to a hatchery.  Peter explores that part of that part of the history of the Tamar Valley.  Ruth works on cleaning and prepping the privy.

The discussion on the fish hatchery would be appropriate in the agricultural science department, especially if the school offered a class on animal science.

If you need a filler in the classroom, this is an excellent series for that use.  You aren't limited to history with this series either you can use this in a family and consumer education or a home economics class to learn a recipes or crafts.  You really see history come to life in this series and Ruth, Alex, and Peter are excellent narrators.

For use in the classroom: just highlight, copy and paste into a word document or a google document for use in the classroom.  You can easily format these questions to your specifications.

You can find the link for the YouTube video here.  This series is also available on Amazon Prime.

Episode 4

Episode 4: Ruth, Peter and Alex continue in their efforts to make money for the farm.  Peter and Alex focus their efforts on the sea while Ruth cleans a historic house.

Christmas is coming to the farm and the boys are trying their hand at fishing for crabs.  However the weather and waves keep them away.  In the mean time the boys have a cow butchered.  Ruth in the mean time is looking for extra income for the farm and cleans a historic house using Edwardian techniques and technology.  She gets a new bike to help her out with transportation.  While Ruth is away, the boys will play.  At the end of the episode, they participate in an Edwardian Christmas church service and celebrate Christmas Edwardian farm style.

This would be a good episode to show around Christmas time in the classroom.  A work sheet wouldn't need to be required, unless you have a sub in the room.

If you need a filler in the classroom, this is an excellent series for that use.  You aren't limited to history with this series either you can use this in a family and consumer education or a home economics class to learn a recipes or crafts.  You really see history come to life in this series and Ruth, Alex, and Peter are excellent narrators.
