Tall trees. 

Bright sun in the sky.

Light green grass.

Summer Learning Journey | Activity 2 (Day 1) | W3

For activity 2 of day 1 from week 3 of the Summer learning journey, I had to look at a list of popular boy and girl names in the 1950's.

List of girl names:     List of boy names:
Christine                   John
Susan                       David
Margaret                  Peter
Judith                       Michael
Jennifer                   Robert

At my school there is only one person named David and one person named Peter who is moving schools. Other than that I don't think there is anymore on that list.

Summer Learning Journey | Activity 1 (Day 1) | W3

For activity 1 of day 1 from week 3 of the Summer learning journey, I had to write if the "meat and three veg" rule was a good one. The "meat and three veg" means three different types of vegetables and one type of meat. This was the simple rule that housewives back in the 1950's used when they prepared the evening meal.
















In my opinion, I think that the rule is a good one because it is very simple. Also because there is a fair amount of vegetables because some kids don't really like eating a lot of vegetables. There also a meat in the meal, it seems like a quite healthy meal to me and one that kids might like.

Summer Learning Journey | Activity 2 (Day 5) | W2

For activity 2 of day 5 of week 2 from the Summer learning journey, I had to compare the 1940's style and clothing to the style and clothing we wear now. Then we had to make a blog post and write which one of the two styles you would prefer and why.

In my opinion I would prefer the style we have right now because in the 1940's women wore dresses, hats, and gloves but I don't really wear dresses a lot, I prefer to wear a top and bottoms anyway. Although I do like the style I just don't prefer it over our modern style and I think that it suited people more then, then it would suit us now.

Summer Learning Journey | Activity 1 (Day 5) | W2

For activity 1 of Day 5 of week 2 from the Summer learning journey, I had to imagine that I was living in New Zealand back in 1945, and plan a VE (Victory in Europe) day party at your house. I had to put who I would invite and what I would do to celebrate.


















I would invite my family members and a couple of friends and I would maybe go to the beach and bring a lot of foods that suit the summer season and a lots of barbecue type foods as well.

Summer Learning Journey | Activity 3 (Day 4) | W2 | Bonus Activity

For activity 3 of day 4 of week 2 from the Summer learning journey which is also a bonus activity, I had to imagine that I was a working as a nurse on a large medical ship and complete writing a provided. I had to at least write more 8-10 sentences to complete the story.

Here is what the story was like at first:
One day you are walking along the deck of the ship when you hear a loud bang. You start to run as you see smoke coming from the far end of the ship. You run towards the room where your patients are waiting to receive treatment from the doctor. Just as you arrive at the door to their room you hear another loud bang and you..


One day you are walking along the deck of the ship when you hear a loud bang. You start to run as you see smoke coming from the far end of the ship. You run towards the room where your patients are waiting to receive treatment from the doctor. Just as you arrive at the door to their room you hear another loud bang and you jumped in fright. You get a doctor to quickly come over and help the patients as you then disappear in attempt to find out what was going on. The smoke soon began to fill the air and you could see other nurses swiftly running away from that area of the ship. You look over the ship and see that people are in the water, it seems that they have jumped off in reaction to all the smoke. You look back and see nurses panicking while running around not knowing what to do. You heart begins to race and you begin to breath heavily. Who know's what's going to happen after all this? you think to yourself. You then spot someone laying on the floor struggling to get up and you wonder why. You quickly go over to help them and you can see that they are in pain so you take them to room so they can be helped. You open the door only to see that half of the patients are gone...but why?
