Summer Learning Journey Day 5

Summer Learning Journey Day 5

Activity 1 - Ve Day! 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)!

If I was throwing a Ve day party, I would invite all the people that made it to come and celebrate with all my close friends and family. We would either go to the beach and play volleyball, soccer and swim. Or we would go to a local park and play sports such as tag, touch, Frisbee and Baseball. We would have a picnic and just celebrate and catch up with everyone.

Activity 2 - 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 below were taken over 65 years ago! What do you think people will be wearing 65 years from now?

I would prefer to wear either clothes because one they are both clothes and two they have very different styles but they are very nice. The style of clothes have changed over the years and have turned like a good way.  They would be wearing beautiful clothes with a lot of styles.

Activity 3 - 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 for it. Type the recipe out on your blog. Make sure you also include a picture.
 My favourite sweet treat is either banoffee pie. I enjoy to eat this because it just melts in your mouth and the first time I tasted it I loved it as soon as it went in my mouth. 

• 
  For the base:
• 100g butter, melted
• 225g light digestive biscuits, crushed
• For the caramel:
• 75g butter
• 75g dark brown soft sugar
• 397g can Carnation Condensed Milk
• For the top:
• 2 medium bananas
• 150ml carton whipping cream, lightly whipped
• Cocoa powder, to dust

You will also need...

20cm loose-bottomed cake tin, greased

1. Put the biscuit crumbs in your bowl, then tip in the melted butter and mix it all together. Spoon this into the base and press against the bottom and sides – this is the base of the banoffee pie recipe. Chill it for ten minutes.2. Place 75g butter and sugar into a non-stick saucepan over a low heat, stirring all the time until the sugar has dissolved. Add the condensed milk and bring to a rapid boil for about a minute, stirring all the time for a thick golden caramel. Spread the caramel over the base, cool and then chill for about 1 hour, until firm or until ready to serve.3. Carefully lift the pie from the tin and place on a serving plate. Slice the bananas; fold half of them into the softly whipped cream and spoon over the base. Decorate with the remaining bananas and finish with a grating of chocolate.To get the most out of our banoffee pie recipe, make sure that you really boil the filling for at least 1 minute to be sure it sets to a fantastically tasty squidgy caramel.
