Summer Learning Journey Week 3 Day 1

Week 3 Day 1 - White Picket Fences (The 1950s)

Activity 1 - Meat and Three Veg

On your blog tell us if you think that the ‘meat and three veg’ rule is a good one. Do you like the rule?
Would you enjoy eating a typical 1950s dinner? Why or why not?

The meat and three veg rule is a good one. Yes, I do like the rule because I think it is a healthy one that makes
sure we eat healthy food every day. We need to eat healthy food
so we can be active all day and nothing goes wrong with us. Healthy food is vegetables and fruits.

Activity 2 - What’s in a Name?

On your blog, tell us which names are currently popular in your school. Please provide, at least, three girls’
names and three boys’ names that are popular.

Girls/Boys

Ava/Joseph

Lili/Christopher

Layla/Peter   

Bonus Activity - Snail Mail

For this activity, imagine that you are living in New Zealand in the 1950s. Use Google Draw* to design the
front of a postcard that you could send to a friend. Try to include elements of
Kiwiana in your design (e.g. Pohutukawa trees, Hokey Pokey ice cream, etc). Post a copy of your
postcard picture to your blog. Be sure to describe what you have drawn on your blog beneath the picture.

I chose the Beehive that is in Wellington, New Zealand because I would like to visit one day at the beehive and
because it is the New Zealand Parliament building. The beehive was first
opened in 1977, Feb 28 by Queen Elizabeth. It’s common name for it is called “Executive Wing.”
