LI: to complete the Summer Learning Journey
This task is from the Summer Learning Journey. This years topic for the Summer Learning Journey is Change - makers. This task is about Yusra Mardini. Yusra is a woman who is a swimmer. The task is to write the story of Yusra Mardini.
Yusra Mardini originally lived in Syria, but then her and her family fled the Syrian war to find safety in Europe. The flew to Lebanon then to Turkey, then was heading to Greece on an overcrowded dinghy. But the fifteen minutes into sailing the boat engine failed. So Yusra, her sister, and two others jumped in the water and swam for over three hours to save the lives of 20 people. She then got recognised for her heroism and joined in the Refugee Olympics team. Then played in the 2016 Olympics. Now she is preparing and training for the 2020 Olympics.
Greetings Chris!,
ReplyDeleteI have found your summary really interesting and enjoyable to read. You have a detailed summary that explains the Yusra Mardini situation. Wow! I can't believe Yusra Mardini saved 20 people. That's amazing! Would you like to have a swimming career like Yursa Mardini?
Amazing Job!
Kia Ora Chris,
ReplyDeleteYou have done a good job writing a recount about Yursa’s tough journey. I can’t imagine how she felt swimming for her life and the lives of the others on board the dinghy. Did you know that the Tokyo Olympics is happening this year? Are there any events that you are looking forward to watching? I always love watching the gymnastics, rowing and the hockey events!
I look forward to reading more of your blog posts soon!
Blog ya later,
Dani

Kia Ora Chris! Yursa Mardini is an incredible person, wouldn't you agree? I can't believe she swam in open water sacrificing her own life, to save those of 20 people. I dream to do something like that! It's amazing that she lives on to tell that story, and proudly continues her career as an athlete/swimmer with the life of a role model. Do you like swimming? Nice job!
ReplyDeleteHi Chris,
ReplyDeleteI like the information that you have gathered on Yursa Mardini. I think that she must have been very brave to to jump into the water and to swim for three hours. It's great to hear that she managed to save lots of lives and that she is now training to compete in the 2020 Olympics. What sport would you compete at if you could be in the Olympics?
