SLJ Week 1 Activity 10 2019

Three things that I learnt, as well as one thing I want to learn from the two videos on the two professional tennis players, Serena and Venus Williams. 

 Venus Williams:

I learnt that Venus is the no. 5 top earning female athlete. Venus has been credited for pulling off the milestone of Wimbledon becoming the last Grand Slam to grant equal prize money for women, a decade ago. In 2005, Venus won Wimbledon, with the longest women's final.

 Serena Williams:

 I learnt that Serena has earned over $80 million in her whole career, and has won 23 Grand Slams. Serena also had a baby on the 1st of September 2017. Serena is the top female athlete, with the most pay.

 Serena and Venus Williams have both been supporting equal pay rights.

    Hi Kyra

    Great work with finding our information about Venus and Serena Williams. They really are two very famous sporting sisters. I would just like to say that they are also very wealthy!
    Imagine how much Nike must pay to Serena for wearing their clothing, it must be a huge sum!

    Venus also has her own clothing range of tennis apparel. You have to be doing well when you make your own clothing range!

    Serena is actually playing in Auckland at the moment in the ASB Classic tournament. She played her first singles match last night and won quite easily. It will be interesting to see how she goes.

    Hope the holidays are going well Kyra. Are you dancing anywhere these holidays?

    Until next time

    Allie :)

    Hello Kyra,

    It’s Beren from the Summer Learning Journey team. How are your holidays going? Just in case you don't know, Serena Williams has now won the singles tournament at the ASB classic in Auckland! Pretty amazing right?

    Do you think you will do some more blogging? You started off really well, but I haven’t seen a post from you in a while. It would be so cool to see you try a few more activities! Remember, you don’t have to do the activities in order, have a look and see which ones interest you:
