It was her dream to be an astronaut

Valentina Tereshkova was born in Russia on 6 March, 1937. Her father was a driver and her mother was a factory worker. Valentina was a worker in a factory too. Her hobby was sky diving and it was her dream to be an astronaut and to go into space.

In 1962, there was a big competition to find new astronauts. There were four hundred people interested in going to space. The training programme wasn’t very easy, but Tereshkova was hard working. She was the lucky one. Tereshkova’s big day was 16 June, 1963, and she was ready.

The name of her spacecraft was Vostok 6, and Tereshkova was the first woman in space. The flight was very difficult because there were many technical problems and Tereshkova wasn’t very well for most of the flight. She was in space for three days. She is the only woman to do a solo space flight. After that she was very famous all over the world. Her face was on stamps in several countries.

In the year 2000, there was a big celebration in London and Valentina Tereshkova was named the ‘Woman of the Century’.

At the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Russia in 2014, Valentina Tereshkova was one of the carriers of the Olympic flag.

These moments were very important to her.

She was the first woman to go into space.

Statues

There are many strange and wonderful statues all over the world.

Charles La Trobe was an important man in Melbourne, Australia in the 1800’s. He improved the city for people. For example, he created a lot of parks. These days in Melbourne there are lots of things to remember him. There’s a La Trobe University and a La Trobe Street. There’s a statue of him at the University. It’s upside down!

Franz Kafka was a writer from Prague. He was born in 1883. His books were in German. During his life he was not very famous but now he is. Many of his stories were very strange. There’s a very unusual statue of him in Prague. He’s sitting on the shoulders of an empty suit!

Hidesaburõ Ueno was a professor at Tokyo University. Every day he travelled to work by train. When he arrived home in the evening, his dog, Hachiko was always at the station to meet him. One day Mr Ueno died. He never arrived home again. For eight more years Hachiko waited at the station every day. When Hachiko died, they made a statue of him – you can see it at the station.

In the middle of the Atacama Desert in Chile a big hand comes out of the sand. It’s 70 kilometres from the nearest town. Mano de Desierto (The Hand of the Desert) is 11 metres tall and is the work of the Chilean sculptor Mario Irarrázabal.

The statue of Charles La Trobe is in Melbourne, Australia.

The statue of Franz Kafka is in Prague, the Czech Republic.

The statue of Hachiko is at a station in Tokyo, Japan.

The Hand of the Desert is in the Atacama Desert in Chile.

It was her dream to be an astronaut

Valentina Tereshkova was born in Russia on 6th March, 1937. Her father was a driver and her mother was a factory worker. Valentina was a worker in a factory, too. Her hobby was sky diving and it was her dream to be an astronaut and to go into space.

In 1962, there was a big competition to find new astronauts. There were 400 people interested in going to space. The training programme wasn't very easy, but Tereshkova was hard working. She was the lucky one. Tereshkova's big day was 16th June, 1963, and she was ready.

The name of her spacecraft was Vostok 6, and Tereshkova was the first woman in space. The flight was very difficult because there were many technical problems and Tereshkova wasn't very well for most of the flight. She was in space for three days. She is the only woman to do a solo space flight. After that she was very famous all over the world. Her face was on stamps in several countries.

In the year 2000, there was a big celebration in London and Valentina Tereshkova was named the 'Woman of the Century'.

At the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Russia in 2014, Valentina Tereshkova was one of the carriers of the Olympic flag.

These moments were very important to her.

Charles La Trobe was an important man in Melbourne, Australia in the 1800s. He improved the city for people. For example, he created a lot of parks. These days in Melbourne there are lots of things to remember him. There's a La Trobe University and a La Trobe Street. There's a statue of him at the University – upside down!

Franz Kafka was a writer from Prague. He was born in 1883. His books were in German. During his life he was not very famous but now he is. Many of his stories were very strange. There's a very unusual statue of him in Prague. He's sitting on the shoulders of an empty suit!

Hidesaburo Ueno was a professor at Tokyo University. Every day he travelled to work by train. When he arrived home in the evening, his dog, Hachiko was always at the station to meet him. One day Mr Ueno died. He never arrived home again. For eight more years Hachiko waited at the station every day. When Hachiko died, they made a statue of him. You can see it at the station.

In the middle of the Atacama Desert in Chile a big hand comes out of the sand. It's 70 kilometres from the nearest town. Mano de Desierto (The Hand of the Desert) is 11 metres tall and is the work of the Chilean sculptor Mario Irarrázabal.
