Activity 3: Scaling New Heights [6 points]
In 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and his sherpa (guide), Tenzing Norgay, were the first people to reach the summit of Mt Everest, the tallest mountain in the world.
At the time, Edmund Hillary was an apiarist (beekeeper) from Auckland, New Zealand. During the summer he worked as a beekeeper, and during the winter, he climbed mountains. Becoming the first person to summit Everest was not easy. In fact, Edmund Hillary attempted (tried) to climb to the top of Mt Everest three times before he succeeded. He was determined to reach the top!
While this famous explorer and climber is mostly remembered for being the first person to reach the summit of Mt Everest, he has also made a huge impact on the world through his charity work. In 1960, Sir Edmund Hillary set up the Himalayan Trust to bring education, healthcare and safe drinking water to the people of Nepal - the country where Mt Everest is located.

ReplyDeleteMālō e lelei Courtney,
Thank you for having a go at doing week one, day one, activity three! The SPCA do some amazing work don’t they!
You have done the activity correctly Courtney, however I can see how smart and creative you are so I think you have the potential to put more detail and thought into your posts, what do you think?
In order to get the full points for this post and your future posts, it would be great to see some more information and detail. For example in this post you can talk about what exactly it is that the SPCA does and maybe what ‘SPCA’ stands for. Have another look at the activity instructions and add some more writing and detail to this post.
You can either edit this post or delete it and create an entirely new one, it’s up to you.
Well done for blogging and I look forward to seeing more detail and information in your edited post.
Have a fantastic afternoon!
Eliza :)
