Jean Batten Information Report: Concluison

LI: to write a concluding paragraph.
Today for writing we had to write down a conclusion for the introduction about Jean (Jane) Batten. 
Jean Batten

Jean batten was an well known person in NZ.

She is one of the people to make New Zealand famous.

She made NZ and herself famous by breaking the record to first fly solo from England to New Zealand in 1936. She broke Amy Johnson's records. Her parents are Ellen Batten her mum and Frederick Batten her dad. She was awarded the Harmon Trophy three times (1935, 1936, 1937). In her flight she faced a big problem which was a sandstorm. Than she faced another problem which led to her death and that problem was a dog bite. I feel sad about death and also happy for her awards.

Inquiry: Balloon Experiment

Today for Inquiry we had done an experiment with balloons. I worked with Liam, Zane and Affonso.

What are Plane Explanation Text

What Are Planes?

On March 31 1903, Richard pearse was the first person to fly a aircraft successfully. On December 17, 1903, Wilbur and Orville (Wright Brothers) made four short flights at Kitty Hawk in North Carolina with their first powered plane.

Some planes are used for transportation and there are also military planes. There are many different kinds of plane and some of them are

pre 1914 plane, Gliders, rotorcraft, NA 40 Bongo and etc.

    

There are four forces of flight in a plane and they are the Lift, Drag, Thrust and weight.

Drag is the smooth force that dislike an aircraft's motion through the air. Drag is generated by every part of the airplane even the engines.

All planes need wings but helicopter don’t need wings because they have the propellers.

A plane needs small wing to get thrust but if a plane needs more lift it will need bigger wings.

As you can see that are not just used for transportation they are also used for military.
