Calvin wrote a blog on his goals that he wants to achieve for the year. He was most proud of joining the rugby team and taking part in after school activities. He wants to move up a whole year in reading by reading a lot more books. By posting more things on his blog will not move him backwards in writing. The most important learning area he wants to improve on is math by learning basic facts because he is struggling. He wants to show that he is caring by helping people that are struggling and to cheer them up. He hopes to have self-management by completing all the tasks that he is supposed to complete. Keeping on track and being responsible for his decisions is his goal around the school. His parent’s goal is to keep moving forward and to be teachers favorite.
Mosa talked about Sir Edmund Hillary in his blog. Edmund Hillary was born July 20, 1919. in Auckland, New Zealand. He and his partner Tenzing Norgay were the first to reach the top of Mount Everest. As a child he was shy, but loved to work. He found out that he loved climbing on his trip to Mount Ruapehu. At the age of 20, he climbed Mount Ollivier. Math and science were his favorite subjects. During World War ll he joined the Air Force and suffered a serious burn in a boating accident. He was determined to climb the world’s highest mountain. In 1953, John Hunt led the ninth British expedition to Mount Everest. They carved a route to South Col and the Khumu Icefall. Hillary then had his chance to climb the mountain after Hunt turned back. Hillary and Norgay were the first to reach the top of the 29,029- foot peak on May 29, 1953, at 11:30 am. While they were up there, they dug a hole in which Norgay filled with sweets and Hillary buried a crucifix. The conquest of Mount Everest was announced on the eve of Queen Elizabeth ll coronation. She then knighted Hillary when he returned to Britain.
