Once upon a time, in Syria ,Damascus they were a girl loved to swim, her name was Yuria Mardini. Syria was a country long gripped from war. When she found out her home was destroyed from a bomb she knew she needed to escape. So her family and her fled by a boat with too many refugees, when the boat / motor broke down she and her sister became heroes, swimming and pulling the boat back to safety, when she was in Germany she found glory on the first refuge team ever to complete the olympics.
Today I did another SLJ, for this we had to read the podcast of Yuria and write it in your own words, I took a bit of time with this but it was fun and exciting.

Hi Akifa, do you have an image to go with the activities? It makes it more interesting for the reader. You could even draw your own image to go with it. Well done on getting the SLJ activities completed.
ReplyDeleteKia Ora Afatia,
ReplyDeleteWell done for writing an interesting recount about Yusra’s journey. She must have been very brave to keep swimming to help save the other people on the boatDid you know that she hopes to qualify again for the Olympics with her sights set on the Olympics in Tokyo this year! Fingers crossed she makes it in. If you were going to the Olympics, what event would you want to compete in?
