The life of Amelia Earhart

Date: 10th Mar 2021 @ 7:34pm

Today we learnt all about Amelia Earhart. We found out she was born a long time ago in 1897, over 100 years ago! We discussed how life might have been different then and looked at some pictures to give us clues. We learnt how Amelia loved exploring and nature, and liked to collect frogs and insects! 

We talked through Amelias timeline and how she loved to fly after her very first airplane ride! We then learnt Amelia has a very important goal, to become the first solo female pilot to cross the Atlantic Ocean. She worked hard to achieve this goal and we discussed what characteristics Amelia showed through this time in her life. Finally we looked at Amelias last challenge, and what happened to her and her navigator during this flight. 

“Amelia’s first plane was called ‘The Canary,’ because it was yellow!”

“The weather was not nice! It rained and there was thunder and lightning.”

“I think Amelia vanished because her plane ran out of petrol.”

“I think they lost control of the plane.”

“She set off from Canada and landed in Ireland.”
