Day 5: Coming to an End
Activity 1: VE Day!
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 Bring all my friends and family over to my house, for a party, have inside and outside activity such as playing on the PS4 And playing water activity and have Pizzas, burgers and more
Activity 2: Making a Fashion Statement
In the years following World War II, things slowly returned to normal in New Zealand. Soldiers returned home and settled back into regular life; and national sporting teams, like the New Zealand cricket team, got back together and started playing matches again. In the late 1940s, men and women would go to watch these events, men wearing hats and suits and women wearing dresses, hats, and gloves.
Compare the pictures of common clothing from the late 1940s to what you wear now (i.e. in 2017). Are they similar or are they quite different?
On your blog tell us which of the two styles you prefer and why. The pictures above were taken over 65 years ago! What do you think people will be wearing 65 years from now?
I would prefer the present clothing. the reason why i gave the answer is because there wasn't really any color back then but now there a more than 9 millions colors. So that is my answer
Bonus Activity: Sweet Tooth
When World War II ended, a number of people from Europe moved to New Zealand looking for a peaceful place to live and raise a family. When they came, they brought recipes and foods from their native countries with them, including hamburgers, pizza and other delicious foods.
I usually have a chocolate chip cookie with my tea. I love biscuits! What is your favourite sweet treat or dessert? Use google to find a recipe or it. Type the recipe out on your blog. Make sure you also include a picture.
My favorite treat is Strawberry and banana ice blocks.
Strawberry and banana ice blocks Place 2 cups strawberry yogurt, 1 mashed ripe banana and 1 tablespoon honey in a bowl and stir to combine. Pour into an ice block mold and freeze.Wait till it freezes and enjoy

Hi Siosaia,
ReplyDeleteRuby here from the Summer Learning Journey team! Great work with these activities. Well done.
Activity 1: What a great idea! It would certainly be a great time to gather around with friends and family to celebrate. I'm not sure they had PlayStations back in 1940 so no one would have been playing those. But they would be today that's for sure!
Activity 2: Fair enough! Today's clothing does look much more comfortable. Women didn't even wear trousers back in those days! There was a lot of colour though, it's just hard to see in the photos because they could only take black and white photos.
What do you think clothes will look like in another 65 years?
Bonus activity: Yum! Those sound delicious. I might have to try them. Sometimes my sister makes lemonade flavoured ice blocks which I think are very yummy. Have you made any other flavours?
I look forward to reading more of your blog.
Cheers,
Ruby.
