Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Day 4

Summer Learning Journey Day 4 More Than Meets The Eye


Activity 1 Scaling New Heights

5 questions I would want to ash Ed Hillary.
1. How long did it take to climb mt Everest?
2. What made you want to climb mt Everest?
3. What was it like crossing the south pole?
4. What was your favourite adventure you went on?
5. When you got to the top of mt Everest was was the first thing you said to yourself?


Activity 2 Pancakes And Maple Syrup

French toast recipe

Serves 2
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 300ml milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 4 thick slices white bread
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Toppings of your choice (such as 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey, or 2 tsp caster sugar)

How to make French toast

  1. In a wide dish, whisk the egg, milk and vanilla or cinnamon together. Coat one side of the bread slices in the liquid, then carefully flip them over and leave them to soak for 1-2 mins. If the bread isn’t very fresh you can leave for a few mins more. You want the eggy milk mixture to be absorbed into the bread but not so much that it falls apart.
  2. Melt 1 tbsp of the butter in a large non-stick pan over a medium heat and add two slices of the soaked bread. Cook for 5 mins or until golden, then turn to cook the other side for another 5 mins. Transfer to a plate and cook the other two slices in the rest of the butter.
  3. Cut the bread on the diagonal and divide between 2 plates, then add your toppings. A drizzle of honey or maple syrup works really well, or a sprinkling of cinnamon mixed with sugar. Add some jam, fruit compote or a few slices of fresh fruit or berries if you like. You can even turn it into dessert with the addition of crème fraiche or ice cream.
Activity 3 Salt And Pepper

I would build my hotel in Hawaii and I would make it out of brick.

  1. Kia ora Sophie,

    My name is Hazel and I am part of the Summer Learning Journey (SLJ) team. I’ll be helping Allie and the team out in Toki Pounmau over the Christmas holidays. It's great to see you making such an awesome start to the programme.

    I really like all of the colours that you use in your posts! I also really liked that you wrote open-ended questions for Sir Edmund Hillary. This means that you would get more information in your answers - ka pai!

    YUM! I love French toast. Have you made it before? What is your favourite topping? I really like to eat mine with bacon and grilled banana.

    To earn an extra 5 bonus points, you can add a drawing of one of the rooms in your hotel. What would it look like? Why would you choose to build it in Hawaii?

    Keep up the great work, and I look forward to seeing more of your posts soon.

    Hazel :)

  2. Hi Hazel

    I learnt how to make french toast at school. Once when I went with my family and some of my parents friends and kids we went to a Bach and I made it for everyone then. I just like to make a sugar and cinnamon mix and I sprinkle some of that on them and its delicious but I would also like to try like strawberries on them.

    1. Hi Sophie,

      Wow, how great that you learned to make something so delicious at school! That was very kind of you to make it for everyone at your beach house. I definitely agree with you about cinnamon and sugar being a great topping for it.

      I hope that you had a lovely Christmas and new year,

      Hazel :)
