Malala Yousafzai

21st Oct 2021

This half term, we have been learning all about famous activist Malala Yousafzai.

 

We have learned that she was born in Pakistan and is 24 years old. She loves learning and used to love going to school, until her school was destroyed and girls were banned from going to school. Malala went online to share what was happening to her which made some people very angry. One day, on her way home from school, Malala was badly hurt. To save her life, she was flown to Birmingham. To stay safe, Malala and her family moved permanently to Birmingham, where she went to Edgbaston girls school. 

We have been looking at where we live, and similarities and differences to Swat Valley, Pakistan.

We have had a great time learning about Malala!
