Activity 2: Living on the Edge
While it can get quite cold in New Zealand, it rarely drops below freezing (00C). Most of the time the temperature in New Zealand is pretty mild. This is not the case in the tundra. The tundra is an area of land (biome) that is cold, dry and completely treeless. Did you know that the average temperature in the tundra is -280C?
Over the past few years, however, the temperature in the tundra has been rising and the weather has been changing. Let’s imagine that your teacher decides to take you on a class trip to the tundra before the weather changes too much and you aren’t able to go.
On your blog, write a letter to your best friend or a family member telling them about your trip to the tundra. To earn full points your letter must have a greeting (eg. Dear…) followed by 5 – 6 sentences of information about what your experience.
Dear Family and Friends,
In Tundra it is so freezing it is one of the coldest place in the World. I really like walking around with some other people who came to visit Tundra, I really like the animals who live nearby like snowy owls and the reindeer. What I like the best visiting Tundra is playing with the snow. Playing with the snow is the best part because, you get to have a lot of fun with some friends and have snow fights. I hope one day you guys could come and visit.
Hi Helena,
ReplyDeleteThis is a good read about your trip to the Tundra! You're right, it would be freezing, you'd have to wrap up warm. What would you wear there?
I don't think I've ever been anywhere really, really cold. Japan was cold but not as cold as the Tundra.
Would you like to hang out on the tundra often or just every now and then? Do you prefer Summer or Winter?
I'm really enjoying your blog Helena!
Have a great Christmas
