Summer Learning Journey Week 1 - Day 4 Activities 1

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.

Five Question to Sir Edmund Hillary
1. How did you feel when you were New Zealand ambassador to India in 1985?
2. How did you feel when you were the first men to stand on the roof of the World?
3. How long did it take you to walk up the roof of the world?
4. Did your like it there?
5. Did you like tramping much more than studying?

  1. Kia Ora Helena,

    These are great questions that you have chosen to ask Sir Edmund Hilary! I am sure t hat he would be very impressed by them. I like your question about whether he likes tramping or studying. I have a feeling I know how he would answer, do you?
    Have you ever done any tramping? Once I walked for four days and three nights up north with friends. Each night we camped near the beach. It was hard, but really rewarding.

    I'm really enjoying your blog, keep up the great work.
    Talk to you later
