Meat and 3 Veg/ Week 3

Hello, blogging world. How was everybody's New Years? My Family went to hurakunio. It was so fun! It was very common for the women in the family in 1950s to stay at home, to care and look after the kids. They were called “house wifes”. For the dinners, many of them stick to a rule called the “Meat and Three Veg (Vegetables)”. The rule was simple and easy you would need to make three vegetables and a piece of meat. They would do it every night at tea.

For this activity we need to describe if this was a good rule (The three veg and a piece of meat rule), Do I like the rule? And would you enjoy eating one of this’s meals?

I would enjoy this rule as it sounds like my normal dinner but I don't think I would want it repeatedly. This is a good rule because it is simple and the kids would love it. You could buy simple meat to do and you could do it over and over again. The kids won't even care because they just want food.

Making A Fashion Statement/ End Of Week 2

Hello, blogging world. today's activity is all about fashion. Now the boys that are reading this won't be into it (If you are I am sorry I said that. After World War Two things became normal again. Soldier and Pilot went back to their homes to see their families and sports teams started playing games again including cricket. To this event, they would wear fancy clothes. Women would wear a dress, a hat and a pair of gloves while men would wear a suit and a hat. Today's activity is comparing our clothes with clothes 65 years ago. We need to also describe casual outfits we would wear.

😃 My casual clothes 😃 

1)

Shorts

T-Shirt

Jumper

Necklace

Sneakers

2)

Pants 

T-Shirt

Sneakers

The outfits are super different as they would always be formally dressed even if they were staying at home but, I think our formal wear is very the same to their cause wear because normally girls/ women wear a dress, do their hair nice and wear some accessories while men/ boys wear a suit and polished shoes or wear a nice shirt that is long and has buttons, nice pants and polished shoes.

I think now the kids in the photo would now be (If they would never age) wearing some colourful shirts, shorts or a skirt. The women in the photo I think they are models back then I think they would wear... Skinny jeans, colourful t-shirt, one of those big hats that looks like this (Photo of Right), a handbag, some heels and accessories.

VE Day!/ Week 2

Hello Blogging World, today is all about VE day! VE day (Victory in Europe) is all about the victory of winning world war two. Partys were thrown all over New Zealand. Imagine you were hosting one of these party. Who you invite? What would you do?

That is what today's activity is! Here is Mine.

I would invite all my closest family and friends to my house. We would have planned out fun and awesome games that both parents and kids can play. For the food, my dad would make an awesome BBQ and to make it extra he would make turducken (A Chicken stuffed in a duck stuffed in a turkey.) Plus my mum and her friends and mum would create a big amount of desserts. After dessert, we would go down to the beach and watch the sunset and after that, we would have a campfire.

Helping Hands/ Week 2

Hello, blogging world. Guess what I am back from holiday!

During this period of time (Where New Zealand had loss of money and jobs) people found it hard to find jobs in New Zealand and overseas. We were not the only people who were stressed and dealing with trouble. People living in the Great Plains in the USA, because they were hit with a giant drought which lasted most of the decade. Many farmers could not plant crops so they could give the food to their families, friends and would not be making any money.

Today's activity we have to imagine we were living in this period of stress and think, what would we do to help people and the families. We have to name three, so here is my three!

1. To stop the people from suffering from the drought I would have so people who could work for me (People that were jobless) and bring over food to local community places to hand out. I would also lend money to the farmers.
2. Another thing I would do is organise a fun run so people would donate and run for my charity for New Zealand jobless people called “Job Hut”.
3. I would also try to influence people/ bosses to hand out more jobs to people, even if it was low paying.

Dealing With Stress/ Week 2

Hello Blogging World, Today Activity is all about stress! I know stress is super bad but everybody has it. In New Zealand, many people had been losing their jobs for a period of time, Sadly. The expert thinks that 30% of the population were unemployed.  It was a stressful time for families.

For today's activity, we have to describe how we relax and wind down, a place to get away from the stress. For me, I hang with people I love and trust. I like to watch tv because on tv all you think about is the thing that is happening on the Tv. I also like playing video games like sims, Roblox and Minecraft. I like to play Roblox with my sister but sometimes she gets stressed playing it.

Art Deco/ Week 2

Hello Blogging World. This is all about art. I do enjoy art but my friend Amie Click here for the blog. Is super job at art. She got the award for it too! Today activity is all about the early ages of art. In the 1920s A movement of Artist was formed in Nz. (And around the world). It was becoming something big. Today we have to look at the photo (On the right) and show what we think of it?

We also Need to give it a rating out of 5.

5= Amazing

4= Its Good

3 = Its Okay, I guess

2 = Its Pretty Bad ;-;

1 = It is Horrible

I really like the colours and how detailed it looks awesome. The photo to me reminds me of a girl, going to a big party, looking in her car. It looks like it was made in the 1900s but has that modern look to it. I would rate it a 4 as it looks realistic, but looks cartoony at the same time, which is good. I also think it is pretty good because I want to see a little more of the car and I think the artist made the scarf longer as he/she did not want to make it super detail.

The Roaring 20s

Hello blogging world, today's activity is all the first movies in New Zealand. In the movies, they would be silent and in black’ n white. You would have to know what was going on with the acting, so they would have to be good at acting. Today we have to pretend we are making a silent film, what would you need to think about when writing the script and filming it and tell if we would enjoy watching a silent movie. But I do have one question… Why couldn’t they record the voices but could record the movements, I feel like the audio would be easier to build?

In my script, I don't think it would be long as I would only need to write what happening, Problem, Solution, the scenes and when the character needs to act out something. When I would be filming it, it would be no point making all the props colourful as it would be in black and white. I feel I would also be yelling a lot because the people might do good acting but not good enough for the viewers to understand what is happening. I think I would not enjoy a silent movie as I would never understand what would be happening. Also, I just don't think they would be good quality

In Flander Field/ Week 2

Hello, blogging world. Today for the bonus Activity it's all about the Poem Flanders field. We have to describe why we like it, how it made us feel things like that. New Zealand settled into a period of relative calm. The calm lasted for 15 years until it was interrupted by world war one. The war lasted for almost 5 years and killed 18,000 New Zealand. With the 17 billion men and woman. The Poem Flanders Field is attributed to the many men and women who fought for our freedom. My school has an ANZAC day every year and 2 students whose relatives fought for our freedom. Here is the poem.

In Flanders fields, the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

   That mark our place; and in the sky

   The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

   Loved and were loved, and now we lie,

       In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

   The torch; be yours to hold it high.

   If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

       In Flanders fields

I really enjoy this poem because it is all about the people who fought for us and the words make the poem sound respectful and cool at the same time. This poem makes me feel happy that the world is basically now in a peace.
