Summer Learning Journey ~ Offering a helping hand

 Offering a helping hand

1.If I lived in the 1930s I would help out by helping everyone in the community with little jobs like, stitching holes in there clothing, fetching there water, gathering food for there familes.

2.I would also help people apply for jobs so they could earn money like a counselor MAYBE even a CEO of a business!

3. I would try and get people to learn how to do a lot of different things to make money like nitting clothes and other different activities!

Making us tired 

We finally arrived home! Yay!

Art Deco

Rate this picture 1 - 5, 5 being the best!

I would rate this picture a 3 because...

What I like about the image :)

 I like how he or she has usen the colours that pop! I also like how   everything they have drawn on the image is coloured and not just boring and not noticable.

I would like to ask the artist who done this painting how long it took them to make it, because it has a lot of detail.

Summer Learning Journey ~ D2 ~ W2 ~ A2 The Right to Vote

 The Right to Vote

I don't think that it is ok that women weren't aloud to vote until 2015. 

Here's why!

What gives men the right to be allowed to vote, how do you think the women felt everytime it was time to vote! The probably felt very belittle about themseves. 

What is soo good about men that allows them to vote, how would you feel if you were at talent show but only MEN we allowed to vote on the winning peformance! That's something they need to think about.

I hope the person who made this rule up regreats it because what if it was the other way around, ladies vote and men miss out! The men would feel the excactly same way the girls do.

THE MORE, THE MERRIER?

I think being part of such a large family would be fun but also bad because you would have lots of friends to hang out with, and if you had sisters to play with you could take turns at doing each other's hair! Sorry boys! 

 But... being part of a large family would also be chaotic and CrAzY! Because there would be alot of washing, dishes and chores to be done around the house. Just imagine all the money your parents would have to spend on beds, furniture and clothing!

In my family I live with my Mum, Dad and Sister we also have 2 older step brothers but they don't live with us! I love having a sister and brothers espically when you have nothing to do you can just ask them if they want to play with you!

Do you have any siblings?

Do you enjoy having siblings if you do have some?

Sometimes having siblings can be annoying because as you get older you want to have your own time but they are always wanting to play with you all the time and then theygo into your personal stuff! ALSO, when you want to tell your Mum and Dad what happened in the day or just anything, you have got siblings running around the house being annoying so your parents get distracted! THAT WOULD BE SOOOO ANNOYING!

In my group I have Kyra, Billie - Jean, Iris, Angelina, Aimee, Alyssa, Ayesha     Kahlo, Seamus and myself, We are called 'THE WILD WOLVES'. Our first activity was to make damper first we put as much flour as we needed into the bowl and Alyssa added 2 TABLE SPOONS of salt. Then we added the milk and butter and Alyssa and I formed it into a ball and then we all grabbed some damper and collected our sticks and placed the damper onto the stick then we cooked them over the fire things. When they were all cooked we tried some... MAN WAS IT SALTY! Then we realised we put WAY to much salt in! HAHA!
