Summer Learning Journey 2019-20 | Week 4, Day 5 | Activity 2: En Pointe

Welcome to another post on my blog. This is the fourth week for the Summer Learning Journey 2019-20. If you don't know, the Summer Learning Journey is a holiday programme where we do blog posts over the summer holidays. This is because we don't drop down in our reading and writing. Because over the holidays, we have so much fun and not do any reading or writing, so we drop down in our scores.

The second week of this Summer Learning Journey is about All The World's A Stage - Arts and Entertainment.

Activity 2: En Pointe [4 points] 

Most successful ballerinas start learning ballet when they are very young - 3 or 4 years old. World famous ballerina, Misty Copeland, wasn’t like most other girls. Instead of starting at age 3, she started ballet lessons at age 13! 

By 14, Misty had won a national competition for ballet dancers. She continued to work very hard and, in 2015, she became the first African Amercian principal (lead) dancer of the Amercian Ballet Theatre - this is amazing because there were, and still are, very few African American ballet dancers in the country. When interviewed, Misty has said that she would like people to be able to “see dreams through me”. This is an example of an inspirational quote.

On your blog, share your text graphic and underneath it, explain what it means to you.

This quote is really meant to me because my dream job is a really big dream and a big thing. I really need to work hard to achieve this big dream.

I hope you learnt something new and liked my post. Have a cool day!! Bye!!
