My Report on Jean Batten By Addnan

Jean Gardner Batten was a famous pilot. She broke a lot of records. She proved that men and women are equal.

Jean Gardner Batten was born on September-15- 1909 in New Zealand, Rotorua. Her mum was an actress and her dad was a dentist. Jean Batten had three brothers but one died at birth. She took piano lessons as her dad wanted her to be a pianist. She wanted to be a pilot so she sold her piano and she went to England with her mother. There she learnt how to fly and got her pilot license.

Jean Batten broke a lot of records. In 1934 she made her first solo flight from England to Australia in the Gypsy Moth Bi-Plane. After the flight she sold the Gypsy Moth and bought a Perciful Gull Six Monoplane. The year after she made the fastest flight from England to South America. While flying from England to South America she made a record for the fastest time crossing the Atlantic Ocean. In 1936 she flew from England to New Zealand setting a record that no one broke for over forty years. Another record she broke was from England to Brazil in the time of 61 hours and 40 minutes setting a world record.

Jean Batten was very sad after hearing that her fiance died after a horrible plane crash. She went looking for him but she didn’t find him. She didn’t get married or engaged after having her fiance dead.

When World War Two was happening, Jean Batten’s flying journeys were over. She was giving lectures in England to raise money for guns and aeroplanes.

She died on 22-November-1982 at the age of 73. She got bitten by a dog and she refused to take medicine. After a while, the wound got worse and was infected.

Jean Batten’s achievements were best remembered after she died. She was a very strong woman during the time and has put New Zealand on the map with aviation.

Addnan's time at the Athletic Sports

Dah Dah Dah! Today is the day. A really big day. It’s the day for school Athletics!! I was overwhelmed. I was thinking to myself ‘ would I come 1st, 2nd or 3rd in anything.’

While I was coming to school, I did some little stretches in the car to warm up. Finally we arrived at school. I was nervous when I got to school, because I knew that I was going to verse a lot of people.

There was high jump with Miss. Sayers and Miss. Paton, Discus with Mrs. Salmon, Mrs.Gina and Shaun, Sprints with Miss. Huggins and Mrs. Leeming, Shotput with Whaea. Raewyn and Mrs. Prasad and Jump Jam with Mrs. Heeps.

The 9 year olds did high jump first. I didn’t do well in that. Then we had discus. After discus, we did sprints. I came 3rd in the 75m sprints and 3rd in the 100m sprints. Finally we had shotput. I was lucky and I came second. After that we had Jump Jam to finish off.

I had a wonderful time doing athletics.

Addnan's trip to the Museum

The Museum Trip

‘Yippee!!’ I said when I heard that we were going to the museum. I was so excited when we were on the bus. The bus was full and noisy.

When we arrived to the Museum I was shocked how big the Museum was. We got into our groups. The people in my group were Cody N, Jarred, Kobe, Jacob and the parent helper was Cody.N and Jarred’s dad Craig. I felt Jealous because I knew that there was going to be a lot of great stuff in the museum. When we got inside the museum I felt like jumping up and down.

The first room my group went in was full of pots. My favourite room was the Maori weapons room. I imagined we played a shooting game with the the guns.

Then we had lunch for about 30 minutes. After lunch we had free time in the museum. We just went inside for about 45 minutes and then we got out of the museum. Only our group got out. We had a little chat and then we met up with the the class and we went home.

I had a wonderful time at the museum.
