Summer Learning Journey 2019-20 | Week 2, Day 3 | Activity 2: The Right to an Education

Welcome to another post on my blog. This is the second 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 I have a dream... - Politics and Activism.

Activity 2: The Right to an Education [4 points]

Malala Yousafzai is a woman who was born and raised in Pakistan. In 2012, she was shot and wounded when traveling home on the bus from school. At the time, girls (and women) living in Pakistan were not encouraged, or even allowed, to go to school. It is widely believed that Malala was attacked because she (and her father) did not agree with this idea and they felt that women had the right to an education. 

Once Malala recovered from her injuries she continued to advocate (fight) for the rights of all women to receive an education. For this work, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 - the youngest person to ever receive this prestigious prize. You can read more of her story here. 

As well as giving speeches in front of many very important and influential people, Malala has written books about her own life. She has also written a book for children called Malala’s Magic Pencil.


For this activity, we would like you to write a short story. The story can be about anything that you wish but to receive full points it must be at least 10 sentences long!


Here is my story that I have written.



There was a boy named Ben. He likes finding things. There was a pavement leading to a cave named The Red Cave. Ben went inside to look around. 

There he found a ladder sinking in a well. He saw something shining under the water. Ben thought to find out what was happening, so he jumped in. As he went closer, the shine became rising. Ben said, “What even is that?” There was an underground secret pathway. Ben had his torch and went further, suddenly with a surprise he saw coins. He was happy with joy. Ben woke up in joy.


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