Activity 2
For this activity we have to imagine that our teacher decides to take us on a trip to tundra.Then we have to pretend that you are writing a letter to a friend or family member telling them about your experience.
Dear Mum & Dad
Going to tundra was so cool , the grass / shrubs there looked so different and it was freezing. I remember taking my first step outside and the cold hitting me like a thousand knives on my bare skin. That was when they notified me that the temperature was around -27 degrees C i rushed back to but a jacket on then went out to join the others
Me and my group ventured out cross country , the dry grass crunched under your feet when you walked , kinda like when the grass is frozen in the morning. Walking through the dry lands and tiny little streams if you could even call them that the were more like a leak in a swimming pool when it all flows out and it flows to the side.We walked for 10 - 15 minutes then we came to a few small pointy hills when we walked around it everything was covered in a light coat of snow but when you turned around everything was dry and had small pools of reddish water , but then turn around and its hills and snow and ice, it was just weird.
After we played in the snow and continued walking for a bit it was time to go back when we got back no one was there so we headed in a different direction.We then came to a big lake so big you couldn't see the other side but mostly because it was blocked by big icebergs. The water in the lake was covered in small patches of extremely thin ice as thin as paper .We stood there just gazing out at the lake before we were interrupted by a call telling us to come back because they were ready to leave.
That was our adventure and i hope to go again because it was so pretty / Actually go there

Hi Lucy,
ReplyDeleteMe again :)
What a wonderfully well written letter! It's very informative and you've used fantastic language to describe your experience. I particularly enjoyed the way you described the cold; it created a great image in my mind.
I much prefer warmer weather so I'm not sure that I would want to visit the tundra but it does sound beautiful. Who would you take if you were able to go in real life?
Blog ya later! :)
