SLJ W1 D2 - Up in the air: Activity 3 Miracle on the Hudson

Miracle on the Hudson

For this task I watched a you tube clip about Mr Chesley Sullenberger, or “Sully”. He became famous when he landed his aeroplane in the middle of the Hudson river and all 155 people on board survived. He had to make an emergency landing because the engines in his aeroplane lost power.  Sully would have been scared when the engines lost power but he stayed calm, and saved the lives of everyone on board. He was very brave.

In my life I haven't had anything dramatic like this happen to show that I am brave but people can be brave in their own way in their ordinary lives.  In my life some times that I have had to stay calm and be brave are:

• Starting in a new class each year
• Competing at the Nationals on my motorbike
• Going to get my immunisations
• Trying something new like when I started swimming club
• Making my speech at the Rotary Speech Competition
• Taking the OAR when I made a mistake at school and making things right.

All of these things help me to practice being brave so one day if I get in a difficult situation I will know how to be brave like Sully.

Here is my diamante poem describing how I think Neil Armstrong would have felt when he landed on the moon.

SLJ W1 D2 - Up in the Air: Activity 1 Flying solo

In this activity I had to find out what was the same and different about two famous female pilots. The activity was interesting because although I had heard of these pilots before I didn't know much about them.  They both must have been very brave women to do what they did.  I would like to learn to fly one day.
