SLJ Week One Day 5 Activity 3: Own Choice

Hi, guys, today is the Fifth day of the SLG. That stands for the summer learning journey. The purpose of it is for when you back to school from the big holiday your reading and writing does not drop in level. If you do not do the SLJ in the summer the stuff that you did through the year you will need to do all of it again. 

You have now made it to the end of Week 1 and have the chance to choose your very own sportsperson or explorer who you think has changed the world. There are no right or wrong choices for this activity, so find someone who interests you and tell us about them on your blog. It could be someone from your family, church, community or someone famous who you admire.

For this activity, I need to choose one person (a changemaker) and read all about them.

On My blog I need to to provide you with:

1. The name of the person
2. A description of the work they do/have done
3. An explanation of how they/their work has had an impact on the lives of others

Here is what I have made.

SLJ week 1, day 2 Activity 3: Miracle on the Hudson

Hi, guys, today is the first day of the SLG. That stands for the summer learning journey. The purpose of it is for when you back to school from the big holiday your reading and writing does not drop in level. If you do not do the SLJ in the summer the stuff that you did through the year you will need to do all of it again. 

Mr Chesley Sullenberger, or “Sully” as he was known, was an airline captain (pilot) for about 30 years. In 2009, he became world-famous when he landed his aeroplane in the middle of the Hudson River in New York City. He was forced to make an emergency landing when both of the engines in his aeroplane lost power. Amazingly, all 155 people on board the A320 plane survived the landing. This incredible event became known as the ‘Miracle on the Hudson.’

You can watch a video about it here.

Although Sully must have been scared when the engines lost power, he didn’t show it. Instead, he stayed calm and saved the lives of everyone on board. What a brave man!

On my blog, I need to write a  recount about a time when I (or someone else I know) did something brave. Here it is.
