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
Hi mum so i wanted to tell you about my trip to Tundra, It was so fun. So when i went on the trip with my class, I looked all around and i couldn´t see any trees. So i asked my teacher ¨ Mr why is there no trees here¨? ¨The trees cant grow here because the harsh conditions make it hard for the plants to grow. Also for the animals to survive¨ He answered.
10 minuets after that someone in my class asked a question which was.... ¨ Is there only one Tundra¨? Mr answered No actually there is two kinds of tundra. The first one is called Alpine tundra, Is near the high mountains where the tree line is. The second one is called Arctic Tundra, which is near the north in the northern hemisphere along the Arctic circle.

Hi Toe'umu,
ReplyDeleteIt's Leslie here, reading your blog from my home in Canada where we have the Arctic tundra across the top of our country. I'm a member of the Summer Learning Journey team and I'm so delighted to read your letter to your mum about this special environment!!
You've done a super job of creating a letter and of including information about the tundra. You're right in saying that there aren't trees because the growing season is too short and the temperatures are generally very low. And you're right that there's more than one type of tundra, too. Good for you - you've done some research!!
Would you ever wish to travel to see this kind of winter world? My husband has been in the Arctic tundra in the summer, when there's 24 hours of sunlight, and he says that it's stunningly beautiful. There are all kinds of small flowers that bloom, low growing bushes, water everywhere and many small animals racing about, taking advantage of the food that's available in the brief summer.
There are many magical places to see in the world, aren't there? I hope you're enjoying your summer, wherever you've spent it! And I hope you'll keep working at these activities!
Cheers,
Leslie
