I think Martin Luther King should win because if he didnt do what he did black and white people would be at war and now with deadly weapons you couldn’t possibly think what sort of state the world would be in now!!!
Well done Aaron – can you tell us some more about what Martin Luther King did for the American Civil-Rights Movement? Mrs Reid
Hi Mrs Reid. Queen Elizabeth 1st should stay in the balloon because for instance she saved the protestants at the time when they were suffering persecution at the hands of Bloody Mary, she was respected by her subjects at that time,she led a successful rebellion against the spanish Armada and thanks to her and Sir Francis Drake it was disaster for the spanish……….What better reasons could you need!!…”God save Queen Elizabeth!!!!!!!”…….:)
Tally-ho!!

George Best should win because he was an amazing footballer, he was from northern ireland and he was 1 of the best footballers in the world.

Edward Jenner should win because he created the vacanation programme. We could all be infected with smallpox, which to me was the worst ever disease, just look at apicture on google. CAUTION bring a plastic bag not a pretty sight. so go jenner 😀
i think the Wright Brothers should win because if they didnt build the first ever flying machine nobody would be able to travel in air and tourism and the economy would suffer
Louis Pasteur all the way without him we would not know about the germ theory and we could not keep food and drinks fresh for as long e.g. milk. Also he made a vaccine for rabies. So without him the world wouldn’t be as healthy as it is today and many more poeple would have died!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so don’t vote him out
I think Emilene Pankhurst should win – she is amazing there is so much about her that is great trust me she should win she did so much but I will tell you about her tomorrow. 🙂
I think Christopher Columbus should stay in the Balloon cuz he was a brilliant sea captain and discovered different places in the world that we might not have known 2day. He is such an amazing explorer. Thanx 4 reading.xoxo
I think that Emmeline Pankhurst should win because she was famous for getting the vote for woman across the UK 🙂
Emmeline Pankurst should win because she was brave to fight for the vote of women and she went to jail because she fought for women and had to be force fed.
I think Florence Nightingale should win because she looked after wounded soldiers in Turkey during Crimean War and her picture was on a £10 note. 🙂
I think Christiann Barnard should win because he made the first heart transplant and he has saved some peoples life’s by doing the transplant. 🙂
I think rosa parkes should win because she stuck up for the black people and refused to get up from her sit and let a white person sit, now black people can sit wherever they want on a public bus 🙂
i think winston churchill should win because only for him great britain could be owned by germany
