Hi bloggers!!
Today I am going to tell you about Jean Batten. Jean Batten started out as a normal person with a normal life, but one day in the 1920's she had a thought about wanting to become a famous plane flyer. In 1929 she travelled to Sydney where she flew with an Australian pilot called Charles Kingsford Smith. The thing that I most liked about learning about Jean Batten was when I got to read how she went all around the world. I am sharing this part of my learning because then you get to know a bit about Jean Batten. Have you ever heard about Jean batten before? If you have heard about Jean Batten before then write it in a comment and tell me a bit more about her. Blog ya later!😉
Hi Zara,
ReplyDeleteGreat to see that you have enjoyed this reading task and have gained some knowledge about Jean Battens early years including going to Australia as a young woman to learn. from someone who was already well know in the aviation world. To answer your question, yes I had heard of Jean Batten before and have often seen her plane hanging up in the International Terminal of Auckland Airport. When I think of her plane its hard to think that such a small plane made so many long trips between different places.
Yes she did fly all around the world. Can you recall why some of these flights made her famous at the time ?
