VE day party

I would invite All my friends and family and we would have a massive  BBQ  and a party.Some people would  have a waterballon fight and a watergun fight.Some would go to the beach,some to the park and play basket ball.

Making a fashion statement

There are different because back then they always dress very fancy and ladies always wear skirts and boys always where shorts or pants.

I prefer the now clothes because you can where what ever you want. I think in 65 years we will be wearng robot armour because we will be attacked by aliens and we will find their clothes and we will make more and stay alive for ever.

My favourite treat is jelly and Here is a  recipe how to make it.

1. In a medium saucepan, place 2 cups (500ml) apple juice and the raspberries. Bring it to the boil. Remove from heat and whisk in gelatine to dissolve. ...
2. Pour juice through a strainer to remove raspberry seeds, then pour strained juice into moulds or a bowl. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours, or overnight, to set.

Day 9

Activity 1 - An Eventful Experience

1st Key Event: 

1st September 1939 Germany invades Poland

German forces invaded Poland from the north, south, and west the morning after the Gleiwitz incident. Slovak forces advanced alongside the Germans in northern Slovakia. As the Wehrmacht advanced, Polish forces withdrew from their forward bases of operation close to the Polish–German border to more established lines of defence to the east.

2nd Key Event:

Germans enter Paris

By the time German tanks rolled into Paris, 2 million Parisians had already fled, with good reason. In short order, the German Gestapo went to work: arrests, interrogations, and spying were the order of the day, as a gigantic swastika flew beneath the Arc de Triomphe.

While Parisians who remained trapped in their capital despaired, French men and women in the west cheered-as Canadian troops rolled through their region, offering hope for a free France yet

Activity 2

A call to arms

Leonard Trent

Leonard Trent was awarded his VC medal on the 12th of March 1946. He was awarded his medal for his actions during a daylight bombing raid. Even though multiple units in his squad went down, he continued with his bombing run and completed his mission.

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.

I said every one get to the front of the ship we are getting shot at. Do any of you still have a rocket launcher here? Yes I do said a mysterious person in a corner. But it is very powerful and can destroy anything even a plane and a ship. Give it here and I can save us all. He gave me the rocket launcher and I got to the top of the ship. The plane was coming to shoot at us again! So I shot the rocket launcher at it, then a tiny spec suddenly hit the plane. It came flying down and hit the water. We were saved.

In Flanders Fields

BY JOHN MCCRAE

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 think it is a good poem and it made me sad a wee bit because of all of the men who died but over all it is a great poem.

I liked this poem because it was all about the people in the war and it helps us to remember them each year.

It made me feel a little bit sad because lots of people lost their lives.

Summer Learning Journey Day 4

Day 4 - Activity 1

The Waiata - A song in your heart

My favourite Maori song

My favourite Maori Waiata is called Aotearoa. Aotearoa is a song by Stan Walker featuring other artists Ria Hall, Troy Kingi and Maisey Rika. 

I like this song because it is fast and I think it a good song about New Zealand being a great country. I also like to listen to Stan Walker. 

Activity 2

I have not played any of these games before but they sound like fun.

I think it is very cool that they pass down the games to other generations. It means that at family events everyone can play together.

The game I have chosen to talk about is Ki-O-Rahi.

The purpose of this game is for the teams to score point and try to stop the other team from scoring points so you can win.

2 Rules of the game:

1) you have to move with the ball you can't stand still.

2) if your flag is ripped when you are trying to score you have to hand the ball over.

Bonus Activity

Ranking of the videos

1) Tamatea Arikinui - I liked this one the best because I liked the Poi dancing in the video

2) Te Iti Kahurangi - I liked this video the second best because everyone seemed very happy and looked like they were happy singing the song

3) Te Puku O Te Ika - I liked this one the least because the people didn't look as happy as the one before.

Bonus Activity - Special Meals

This is my favourite meal, Butter Chicken. I like this meal because I think it is yummy and I love the sauce.

ingredients

• 6 tablespoons butter, divided
• 2 lbs chicken breasts, cut into 1″ chunks
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Tbsp garam masala
• 1 Tbsp fresh grated ginger
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 1/2 cups tomato sauce**** (or one 14 oz can would work)
• 2 cups cream*
• salt & pepper
• lime & cilantro, for garnish
• naan & rice for serving

instructions

1. Using 2 Tbsp of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the pieces of the chicken so each side is browned. They do not need to be fully cooked all the way through. Work in batches, and set aside when you’re done
2. Melt another 2 Tbsp of butter in the pan over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook until beginning to soften — about three minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne. Stir to combine, and cook for about 45 seconds before adding the tomato sauce.
3. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let cook for five minutes before adding the cream. Bring the mixture back to a simmer, add the browned chicken, and let simmer for 10-15 minutes. Keep the heat low here — not a rolling boil.
4. Stir in the remaining 2 Tbsp of butter, and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
5. Serve garnished with lime and cilantro, alongside rice and naan.

Summer Learning Journey Day 1

Day 1 - Activity 1

Maui and Giant Fish

3 Facts about Maui I learnt from the story:

1: Maui had a 'Never Give Up' attitude, even though Maui was often told by his brothers that he was useless and could not fish, he made a net on his own anyway. He wanted to prove his brothers wrong and show them that he could catch fish just like they could.

2: Maui's village thought he was the best fisherman ever, because he caught the biggest fish out of all his brothers when no one thought he could.

3: Maui had very greedy brothers. When Maui left the waka his brothers began chopping and arguing about which part of the giant fish was theirs, the village saw them as very greedy fishermen after that.

Another fact I have learnt about Maui is that some see him as a god other just see him as a human.

Activity 2

A letter to my friend from the Waka voyage

Dear David

The voyage so far has been tough, It is very hard when it comes to my turn to sail the waka because the waves are very strong and it is in the middle of the night so it is hard to see the way to go.

I hope it isn't too much further to go but I am still very nervous about what is to come. I am missing my home and my friends and family but I am hoping that once I get here I can feel at home again, I look forward to hearing from you.

Hunter

Bonus Activity - Waka Ama

I would not like to be in a Waka Ama race, because I think it would be very stressful and hard to co-ordinate all of the people in the waka. There would also be a lot of training and practise before the race.
