Jean Batten

 Jean Batten was New Zealand's greatest aviator. She was born on the 15 September 1909 in Rotorua but sadly passed on the age 73 on 22 November 1902. She became sick from a dog that had bitten her and after refusing the treatment she had died from a pulmonary abscess.

Jean Batten was the first woman to fly herself across the South Atlantic Ocean, in October 1936. She has flown to New Zealand from England solo. She was awarded the Legion of Honor because of this flight she was also awarded the Order of The Southern Cross by Getulio Dornelles Vargas, President of Brazil.

Jean Batten did this because she wanted to inspire others to accomplish their dreams and their goals to make their future become much better.

Would you rather?

 

I would rather choose...

  Slide down a rainbow or jump on clouds

I would rather jump on clouds because I

could get a good

view of New Zealand.

It would really

feel nice to be away

from my problems,

annoying siblings and stress.

I will just lay

down and watch the planes pass

by and birds flying in the sky and most of all the

beautiful sunset.

Be a wizard or a superhero

I would rather be a superhero so I can be strong and brave to save citizens from any danger, and to could make the world a better place.

BE A WIZARD OR A SUPERHERO

Blackout poetry- by Sione

 

As part of writing this week my class did a blackout poetry. All you need is to find a newspaper or magazine or you could rather find an artical online,and then find a piece of text and create a poem by blackening or highlighting words to build your poem.

Maggots-life cycle

 

 

This week we read about a girl who fell from the sky when her plane disintegrated. She landed in the rain forest. Her name was Juliane. During the crash Juliane was wounded. Maggots infested one of the wounds. I learnt that maggots liked to eat dead tissue so wounds can heal. The maggots in Juliane's wound were helpful because they ate the dead infected tissue. I created a life cycle about maggots because maggots come flies and this is how she got maggots in her wound.
