Activity 2: After the adventure at The Lewis Pass Scenic Reserve, you are pretty happy to get back into the shuttle van and continue with your road trip. Over the next few hours you travel up and over the Southern Alps, arriving in the city of Christchurch to eat lunch. You have a delicious meal at a café downtown and then hop back into the van to travel to Twizel, a small town at the base of Aoraki-Mt Cook. Mt Cook is the largest mountain in New Zealand. It is also the mountain where Sir Edmund Hillary trained for his climb up Mt Everest – the tallest mountain in the world. Sir Edmund Hillary is very famous because he was the first person to ever reach the top of Mt Everest!.Now it is your turn to learn about a famous New Zealander. Use Google to research one famous person from New Zealand and then create a DLO and post it on your blog. Be sure to include: 1. The name of the famous person, 2. Where they were born, 3. Why they are famous, and 4. Two other interesting facts about them.

Kia ora Christopher,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on doing so well in the Winter Learning Journey programme!! I hope that you enjoy your prize pack - it was well earned :)
Both Jacinta and I loved reading your posts. I particularly enjoyed learning new things, including new facts about Steven Adams. I'm a huge basketball fan! I actually grew up in a town in Canada that is the birthplace of the inventor of basketball, Dr James Naismith. We have a statue of him in the middle of our town and people often come just to see the statue and to have their picture taken with it!
I hope that you have a great term and I'll look forward to seeing you later in Term 4 when I come in to talk about the next Summer Learning Journey programme.
Cheers,
Rachel :)
