Dear Mum
The trip her to the Tundra was boring and long but we finally got here at 1am on Wednesday morning.
It is very cold even though I am wearing 6 layers of clothes, luckily we came in summer!
It was strange seeing wildflowers growing since it's so cold but we went for a walk this morning and saw some! The teacher said we weren't allowed to pick them though.
Yesterday I saw an arctic fox and there was a polar bear destroying the neighbouring village!
It is hard to sleep at night because there is sun all day and night but eventually I fall asleep.
2 days ago I tried digging a hole to see how far down I could get but after I got only a little way the ground was frozen.
Hopefully tomorrow we are going to see a reindeer (they call them caribou here).
I'm looking forward to coming home and feeling warm again.

Hi Andrew!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really cool letter to your Mum, I am sure she would be stoked that you picked her to write to for this activity - Did you show her?
Sounds like you might have had a rough journey to the tundra - How did you get there?
Yeesh! 6 layers and still cold... I don't know if I would survive that kind of cold - I am more of a summer girl myself! What do you prefer Anderw?
That's crazy that you saw an artic fox and a polar bear destroying a village! I think polar bears would be very scary to see in real life... One of those animals that looks so cuddly but is really very ferocious!
I think seeing reindeer would also be pretty cool - Do you have an animal that was the best to see?
I would find it really hard to sleep with sunlight all the time - Where did you sleep while you were there? In a cabin?
This is a really great letter Andrew, it's succinct but informative!
Keep up the awesome work!
Ellee :)
Hi Ellee
ReplyDeleteI got to the Tundra by boat, I prefer Winter because I don't like having to wear a sunhat but I think I would like summer better in a different country maybe.
