Activity 1: Scaling New Heights [4 points
Aotearoa New Zealand is a country of mountains and valleys, dense forests, and sparkling oceans. At the centre of the South Island sits the tallest mountain in the country, Aoraki Mt Cook. It is the place where Sir Edmund Hillary, the first man to reach the top (summit) of Mt Everest, learned how to climb mountains. It was pretty difficult for him, at first, but Sir Edmund Hillary did not give up and, in 1953, he achieved this dream of climbing Mt Everest. His face can now be found on the New Zealand $5 note!
Let’s imagine that you met Sir Edmund Hillary in real life and were able to interview him.
On your blog, post five questions that you would like to ask Sir Edmund Hillary about his life.
-How many are you in your family-
-Are you married-
-Whats your age-
-Whats your favourite food-
-What does it feels when you arrived to the top of the Mt Cook-
Kia ora Rheanne-Mae,
ReplyDeleteLovely to see another Summer Learning Journey activity completed by you! You are continuing to do a wonderful job. :)
What an honour it would be to have your face on a bank note, wouldn't it be a bit funny going to pay for something with a note with your face on it?! Do you think you'd like your face on a bank note?
I like how you have chosen questions that are more personal about Sir Edmund Hillary. Are you able to do some research on the internet and find the answers to any of them? I wonder if he has any children of his own.
Until next time, happy blogging :)
