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 Mum, Dad and Aedan,
Greetings family, we have arrived at the Tundra in Greenland and I want to tell you about what it has been like so far.
It is absolutely freezing here at -30oC, with just a little wind but it is very, very cold outside. I can not go outside without wearing very warm, thick clothes and a fur hat.
Outside my door I can see lots of ice and some little pools of water where it has melted with the little bit of sunshine.
It is very rocky on the ground and there are no trees anywhere to sit under and read a book. The ground has a lot of moss on it and it is very cold.
I have not seen any animals or people here but it has not rained at all yet either.
Love from Hamish.
Kia Ora Hamish!
ReplyDeleteI think that you have captured the essence of the tundra. I can imagine what it must be like having to wear many that many layers of clothing. - 30oC Is SUPER cold! Survival must be so difficult! What kind of things are you eating while you’re at the tundra?
You are an amazing writer by the way! Do you enjoy writing in school?
Keep up the great work!
He Whetu Koe! (You’re a star!)
