Scaling New Heights Summer Learning Journey, Week 1, Day 4, Activity 1

Scaling New Heights: Sir Edmund Hillary!

I know that we are supposed to only ask 5 questions but I want to know more about Sir Edmund Hillary. Here are some questions for Sir Edmund Hillary, I hope I get some answers to my questions.

QUESTIONS:

  • How did you have enough energy to climb Mount Everest?
  • How to other mountains you've climbed compared to Mount Everest? Can you think of another peak that's challenged you as much as Mount Everest?
  • How did you sleep on Mount Everest?
  • What was the most difficult part of your adventure?
  • I know from reading one of your stories that you've trained for a long time and also were/are a courageous man. But there was a time up on Mount Everest when you were scared? Can you describe what was happening?
  • How does it feel to be called "Sir"? What was it like being knighted? That must be really cool!
  • How did it feel when you reached the top of Mount Everest? Were you able to see anything? What did the world look like from up there?

  1. Kia ora Sierra,

    My name is Hazel and I am part of the Summer Learning Journey team. I am so glad that you have decided to join us over the holidays as we learn all about the world around us.

    You have asked some really thoughtful questions - ka pai! My favourite one was: "but there was a time up on Mount Everest when you were scared? Can you describe what was happening?". I like that you asked him to describe the situation.

    I also like that you have included a picture in your post. Remember, it's important to attribute any images that you find online to their owner. You can read more about our image guidelines here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1VKjkMGwBrk2YI6Vtmg91OAQljr_T3ZSV6YZtu6MWFNM/edit​

    Keep up the great work, and I look forward to reading more of your posts over the next few weeks.

    Cheers,

    Hazel :)
