In 2009, Mr Chesley Sullenberger, or “Sully”, became very famous when he landed his aeroplane in the middle of the Hudson River in New York City.
He had to make an emergency landing when both of the engines in his aeroplane lost power. Amazingly, all 155 people on board the plane survived the landing.

Activity 2: One Small Step for Man [4 points]
Neil Armstrong was an American astronaut. In 1969 he became the first person to walk on the moon.
Landing on the moon is very dangerous. Neil Armstrong must have been extremely brave.
I always imagine that walking on the moon must be like jumping on the trampoline! Do you like jumping on a trampoline? My daughter Laila loves it!

For this activity, let’s imagine that you were Neil Armstrong.
On your blog, write a short poem describing how you felt when you first set foot on the moon.

My poem

As I placed my foot on the surface of the moon, I felt a slight breeze come across me as I walked, therver and therver on the moon, I started to feel warmer and warmer and then I found the warmish spot and that is where I put my flag.


PS I tried to do my best.

Activity 2: Discovering Aotearoa [4 points]

Many people believe that Kupe was the first person to discover Aotearoa, New Zealand in about 1300. He navigated from Hawaiki to Aotearoa using the stars, sun, and ocean swells.

In 1642 Abel Tasman came from The Netherlands, to New Zealand. He thought that he was the first person to ‘discover’ the country, even though Māori already lived here!

Kupe and Abel Tasman came from two very different cultures but they both wanted to explore the world.

Please think about your own culture. Where does your family come from? What is important or special to you and your family? What language do you speak?

On your blog, please tell us about your culture.
