Jean Batten

Jean Batten

Jean Batten is one of the New Zealand aviators. She became the best known aviator of New Zealand and did record breaking solo’s across the world. When Batten died the airports workers tried to put her gipsy moth plane on the top and it worked. every time I go to the airport I always see Jean Batten’s gipsy moth plane and it reminds me of her when she died.

And Remember Jean Batten will never be forgotten.

Today for writing Te Ika a Maui and Aoteroa group had to practice writing a conclusion about P.B.S. and then we had to write a real conclusion on our favourite aviator. I choose Jean Batten as my New Zealand aviator.

Narrative

‘’Yah’’ as Sarah yelled ’’ I can’t wait to go to the beach’’. Every summer day Sarah and her family would always go to the beach near the time square in New York. As they were packing everything they heard that there would be a big tsunami hitting New York, but as Anna (Sarah’s Mum) heard that there would be a Big tsunami happening she said to Sarah, ‘’There is going to be a big tsunami hitting New York so we are not going anymore’’, As Sarah started to cry and said, No we have to go, But as soon as Sarah started crying Anna said ‘’ ok Sarah we can go but we have to come back immediately’’, ‘’And Sarah said Deal’’. They finished packing and walked over to the car.

10 minutes later they arrived to Maraetai beach. As soon as Sarah saw the big waves she hopped out of the car straight away and started splashing in the water. Sarah was having so much fun, until she saw a big tide coming. Anna saw the big Tsunami coming too so she ran to Sarah and carried her to the car. Anna was in a lot of stress and said ‘’OMG Sarah that was so close now we have to go back home and wear warm clothes’’

As they got home they locked all the doors and put on warm clothes as soon as possible. Sarah saw the tsunami coming towards her house so she ran to Anna and hugged her, But as the tsunami stopped it did not hit Sarah’s house. So Sarah said ‘’that was strange I can’t believe that’’ ’’ I know right’’ as Anna replied back.

Jervani (Sarah’s Father) was so nervous and said ‘’now is the time to go to the pools’’. They arrived to the pools and has a swim together as a family. Sarah had so much fun and said ‘’ what a busy day’’.  They had ice cream together as a family and lived happily together as a family.
