Sweet Tooth - Bonus Activity

Hello Blogging world! Lots of people from Europe moved to New Zealand to have a calm and peaceful life to raise a family. When they shifted to New Zealand they brought special treats and yummy food. My favourite sweet treat of desert is Jiggly Cheesecake also known as Japanese cheesecake. This type of cake is very popular right now. Here is the recipe.



That is a very long recipe but making the cheesecake is very difficult. Here is the link to where I got the photo from. I hope you have have got inspired from this blog post! Please feel free to leave a comment! Bye! Bye! Blogging world!

Making a Fashion Statement - Activity 2

Hello Blogging world! In the years following WWII, everyone started to go back to there homes and families and have a normal life again. Soldiers returned to their sports teams and started competing again. In the late 1940s men and women would go watch these events, men wearing hats and suits while women wearing dresses,hats and gloves. These were called fashion. Here are 2 photos of what they use to wear in the late 1940s.

Those are what they use to wear and here is what we wear now.

There is so much that is different, the colour, the shine and much more! Now we have to find out 2 styles you prefer and why? The 2 styles I prefer is the women in the 2017 dress and the late 1940s right picture because the dress for 2017 has really pretty colours and the dress is very long. I also chose the late 1940s one too because old clothes could sometimes be special. I think 65 years from now most people will be wearing really cool clothes that you would wear to a meeting. I hope you have enjoyed this blog post! Please feel free to leave a positive, thoughtful and helpful comment. Bye! Bye! Blogging world!

VE Day! - Day 5

Hello Blogging world! This week has been another successful week of learning together! I hoped that you have learnt a lot from me. The WWII finally came to a end in 1945! Everyone in New Zealand had a VE Day, a VE day is short for Victory in Europe. Lots of people would come to your house and have a big party. If you were alive in the 1945s who would you invite? What will you do to celebrate? Tell me in the comments! Here is what I would do.

If I were to be alive in 1945 I would have invited my close friends that I love hanging out with and my family members. On that day we would go to a outside pool that is not public so that we can swim in it with my friends and family. I would also like to go to the beach and have a BBQ. With ice cold drinks like lemonade.

I really want to do those things right now but I can't. From making this blog post I learnt what a VE day is now. It was easy to write what I would have on a VE day in 1945 because these are my favourite things to do. I hope you have learnt from this blog post! Please feel free to leave a comment! Bye! bye!

Women at Work - Bonus Activity

Hello Blogging world! Both Women and Men severed in WWII. Women signed up to be nurses for the wounded men. And the men trained to be soldiers. My Nana Dorothy was one of those nurses. She was working on a big red cross medical ship. 

For this activity we have to write at least 6-8 sentences about a short story that Dorothy experienced. Here is what she experienced.

 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…Now it is my time to finish her story.

Dorothy and the Loud Bang!

Just as you arrive at the door to their room you hear another loud bang and you call out, "Does anyone know what is happening?!?" All the nurses frantically turned their heads in horror not knowing what to do. Just like a train every nurse grabs a wheelchair for every in pain patient. All the patients line up nears the massive windows to see what is happening, Dorothy slowly tilts her head up and boom! A bullet went through the other window. The furious ocean began to bump up and down. The ship began to shake and everyone trying to evacuate when Dorothy stays there, in the ship with the sick patients trying to help them. Ka Boom! Everyone gasped they lost one nurse and all of the 18,000 wounded patients. What now?

There was my story finisher. I hope you have liked my story that I wrote. Please feel free to leave a comment this story was over 8 sentences but I enjoy writing that is why. Bye! Bye! Blogging world!

A Call to Arms - Activity 2

Hello Blogging world! In WWII over 140,000 New Zealanders went overseas to help in the war. Many were sent to fight huge battles, including the Atlantic that lasted over 5 years! The Atlantic battle came to a end in 1943, In total of 22 New Zealanders have been awarded the VCs, because of bravery.A VC is short for Victoria Cross. We had to find 1 of the VCs winners in the WWII, and tell everyone about him and what he did to earn the VC. I chose Keith Elliott.

Keith Elliott is a man from Egypt. He got awarded the VC just because his effort at Ruweisat Ridge on 15 July 1942. Serving with 22nd Battalion, Elliot got badly wounded on his chest from a heavy machine gun. For his bravery we will all be thankful.

From making this blog post I learnt what a VC is and how you can earn it. I hope you have also learnt what a VC is if you haven't and now know a little bit more about a VC WWII winner. I hope you have enjoyed this blog post! Please feel free to leave a comment! Bye! Bye! Blogging world!

Paying it forward - Bonus activity

Hello Blogging world! In the 1930s New Zealand became a little bit better more people were able to find work and get payed. But everyone was still very cautious of using their money. They rarely even thought about buying other people gifts and treats. If I were to travel back to see my family members in 1930s I would have not bring a lot of things compared to now. Here is what I would have brought.

I would bring 2 blocks of Whittaker's Chocolate because it is real  chocolate and is very creamy and nice. I would also bring a little bit of lollipops because I like to lick lollipops. I would also like to take some dried apricots because I really like eating them and they are citrus which I like. I would also bring some spare clothes and 1 board game like Monopoly. 

Do you like what I would have brought? What would you have brought if you were travelling in the 1930s? From making this blog post I learnt that Whittaker's Chocolate was existing since 1896. I hope you enjoyed this blog post! Bye! Bye! Blogging world!
