Shopping in Ireland Long Ago

In SESE this week we have been learning about what life was like in Ireland long ago. Our grandparents lived in a different time to us and lots of things have changed. We talked about the different foods the ate, the clothes they wore, the houses they lived in etc. We compared the different types of shops that were in the community long ago to the modern shops and supermarkets we have in Ireland today. We investigated the type of receipts that our grandparents received when they bought items in the local shop. Did you know that these receipts were handwritten and that our grandparents bought only basic items as they grew lots of food at home?
