Summer Learning Journey - Making a Racket

Hi Bloggers,

I had to read some information about Billie Jean King and share 3 things I learnt and 1 thing I would like to learn.

Things I learnt about Billie Jean King:

  1. She started playing professional tennis in 1959 and stopped in 1983.
  2. She started the Women’s Tennis Association, World Team Tennis, and the Women's Sport Foundation.
  3. In 2018, she won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Lifetime Achievement Award.

Something I would like to learn about Billie Jean King:

  1. When did she first start playing tennis.

  1. Hi Maddison,

    I had no idea who Billie Jean King was until I read this blog. She seems like a very determined lady. And she has achieved so much.

    One question I would love answered, would be why did she start playing tennis?
    What do you think her answer would be?

    Is Tennis something you might like to learn?

  2. Hi again Maddison,

    Kueni here from the Summer Learning Journey. I hope you’re having a groovy Monday afternoon

    Thank you for completing Week One, Day Four, Activity One. I can see that you have found some awesome facts about the tennis player Billie Jean King and I can see you have found 3 facts and something you would still like to learn about her, ka pai.

    This activity asks you to watch videos about two different tennis players: Serena and Venus Williams and write 3 things you have learned about either of them. See if you can spot this in the grey section under the information about Billie Jean King. If you want to gain points for this activity, you will just need to edit this post :)

    I look forward to reading your updated response to this activity.

    Ka kite,
    Kueni
