We have been doing some awesome character description writing about Sir Edmund Hillary. Below are Tia and Tilly's descriptions.

Sir Edmund Hillary

He never gave up. He was strong and brave. He climbed Mount Everest on 29^th of May 1953. He was tall. He was not scared. He was hard working. He was very lucky. He always loved climbing hill forever. When he made a mistake he just kept going. When he found Mount Everest he wanted to climb it straight away. When he did this he became a Sir from the queen. He is on the five dollar note. He climbed Mount Everest with Tenzing Norgay. They were very strong to get to the top by foot. When he was younger he didn’t know there were such things as mountains. When he knew, he started travelling the whole world to climb mountains. That is how he found Mount Everest. He was born in Auckland and died in New Zealand. He went to war. He will never be forgotten.

Sir Edmund Hillary

Sir Edmund Hillary climbed Mount Everest on 29th May 1953.  He was trying when he was younger.  He loved climbing. Sir Edmund Hillary climbed mostly everyday.  After Sir Edmund Hillary climbed Mount Everest he became a Sir. He died of old age.  Now is he is on $5 notes. He was shy and small. Bolt ruffs when he a bit older. He climbed when younger. He didn't give up even when he freezing. He climbed with tending. He was born New Zealand. Edmund Hillary was a nice person and his Mum and Dad were nice. He was hard working. Mount Everest is ginormous. He went to the Air Force. I wish he was still alive. He will never be forgotten.
