Jean Batten was a famous aviator (pilot) who was born in Rotorua, New Zealand in 1909. In the 1930s she made several record-breaking solo flights (on her own) across the world. In fact, she was the first person to fly solo from England to New Zealand - a huge achievement! She also flew a number of long solo flights between England and Australia/Brazil. When she flew, she always took a silk dress with her so that she could look beautiful at the parties she attended upon her arrival.
Amelia Earhart was an American aviator who lived at about the same time as Jean Batten.
Like Jean, she also flew solo. In fact, she was the first female aviator to fly solo across the
Atlantic Ocean. She flew all the way from Canada to Northern Ireland on her own without
stopping. In 1937, Amelia Earhart attempted to circumnavigate (go right around) the world.
Unfortunately, the flight ended in tragedy when she disappeared near Howland Island, about
halfway between Australia and Hawaii. She was never found.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your effort in this blog post! I really appreciate all your research you've done on these two aviators! Aren't they super courageous women?!
I always feel inspired after reading about Jean and Amelia. Do you? Did you know Amelia Earhart owned and flew a yellow plane called "The Canary?" I have an electric scooter called "Gale" after the wind in Frozen 2. Do you have anything similar that you like to name? Cars, bikes, pets?
To receive full points, you'll need to do the Venn diagram in your own words! Please can you edit your blog post and use all your great information into making a few sentences, or bullet points of your own!
Other than that, ka pai for all your hard work!
Ngā mihi,

Kia Ora Olive! yes I always feel inspired after reading about Jean and Amelia. Do I have anything similar that you like to name? yes I like to name dogs. Thanks for the awesome comment!
DeleteKia ora Kamaea! Olive here.
DeleteI love naming my friend's cars and my plant family! I've got six real cacti - no seven now, and three faux (fake) plants. My three faux succulents are named after a writer, and two warrior princesses!
What's your dog's name?
