My Wallwisher on the Olympic Games By Tevita

Hi these are my questions on wallwisher about the Olympics.

My Jean Batten Report By Angel

Jean Gardneer Batten


During the 1930s, Jean Batten became a very famous woman from New Zealand. She also broke lots of world flying records and faced many sad moments.


Jean was born on 15th September 1902 in Rotorua, New Zealand. She had three older brothers but one died at birth. Her mother worked as an actress and her father worked as a dental surgeon.


In 1924 she was enrolled at a girls boarding college in Remuera, Auckland where she learned ballet and piano. Though she was a gifted pianist, at the age of 18 she wanted to be a pilot, inspired by the Australian Charles Kingsford Smith, who took her for a flight in his Southern Cross. In 1929 she moved to England with her mother to join the London Aeroplane Club.


Jean Batten Broke many records. In November 1935 Jean Batten became the first woman to fly from England to South America. In 1936 she made her first direct flight from England to New Zealand, leaving England in October and arriving at Mangere aerodrome in Auckland taking 11 days and 45 minutes where she was also welcomed by a crowd of 6,000 people.

Jean had some very sad momments in her life. She received bad news that the man she was planning to marry was missing. Jean went to Austrailia to help search for her fiance. Jean was very sad when she found out that her fiance was killed.


In 1982 she was bitten by a dog on the island of Majorca. She refused treatment and the wound became infected. She died alone in a hotel in Majorca and is buried there.

Jean became very well known after she had died. Her family and friends found out 5 years later that she died. Jean Batten’s world records will still be remembered around the world and especially in New Zealand and she will still be one of New Zealand’s famous person.

Maori Language Week: Poi E

During these last two weeks Room 5 have been learning to use poi's to the music Poi E. As part of Maori Language week, each class of Panmure Bridge School had to learn a song and perform to everyone at a special assembly. Room 5 chose the 80's hit Poi E and had to keep their poi's in time with the music. Not the easiest but they did extremely well.

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.
