Summer Learning journey

Summer Learning journey, Day 5

After six long years of fighting, World War II finally came to an end in 1945. The entire country was ecstatic and parties were thrown all over New Zealand to celebrate VE Day (Victory in Europe). Imagine that you were living in New Zealand in 1945 and you had to plan a VE day party at your house. Who would you invite? What would you do to celebrate?

On your blog, tell us all about your (imaginary) VE party. If it was me, I would invite all of my closest friends and family over to my house for a big barbecue. We would eat hamburgers and play basketball in the driveway. Some of us would probably walk to the local beach to play soccer on the beach and to go for a swim (if the weather was warm enough)!

I would invite all my family and friends to the party, and have big feeds and have foods that no one have ever tried and I would set up lots of games for us human beings to play with. If it was a hot day I would set a party at the beach and we can all go for a swim and play sports there such as Volley ball or Soccer..

In the mid-1930s, things began to change for the better in New Zealand. More people were able to find work and receive a steady paycheck. They were still careful, however, with their money and rarely, if ever, bought treats or gifts for one another.

Imagine that you were able to travel back in time to visit a family in the 1930s. What special gifts or treats would you like to bring with you? I would likely bring blocks of Whit-taker's chocolate, bags of Jet Planes and Pineapple Lumps, healthy food snacks, clothing, and games for the children. What about you?

If I were able to travel back in time to visit a family in the 1930's, I would bring many gifts for the family such as clothes that I can't fit, Food, Drinks, blocks of Whitaker's chocolate and of course healthy sandwiches.

 Imagine that you were a member of the flight crew. Write a poem that describes how you would have felt when you landed safely in Christchurch after such a long trip. Remember, there are lots of different types of poems, and they don’t all have to rhyme.

Arriving back home with the biggest smile,
Coming back home from a mile
Was one of the best times I've ever experienced.
Being on a plane was very frightening,
while my stomach was tightened.
It was pouring with rain, but I could see that we were nearly at the end.
