Taniwha Vocab Sheet

This task was sort of easy because my group and I got to find the definition of the word on google.

The Trail of The Taniwha - A-Z

WALT: Use a Alphabetical A-Z Brainstorm Sheet for all the information about a Taniwha.
Reflection: The digital sheet wasn't very hard apart from finding some confusing information.

Gillian Lee Writing

Striving for the Summit 

2.07.19

In May 2019, Gillian Lee AKA an Australian Mountaineer had made his 4th attempt to climb the top of Everest, without using an oxygen tank. He had decided to travel the North Side of the Tibet Route, instead of hiking with unskilled climbers.

At 7600m, Gill began to feel ill and instantly started coughing (as he was in the death zone). Because of low oxygen, Gillian's lips were fading into blue. His Sherpa guides started realizing that he had a low chance of surviving. They tried to persuade him to make his way down from the peak, but he refused. That's when he passed out. The guides acted rapidly and began to descend from the maunga, traveling to his tent. They rushed inside, lay him down in his sleeping bag, giving him hot water bottles to warm his body. Since he was still at risk, the Sherpas decided to make a sled out of sleeping mats and his sleeping bag, to keep him toasty while they moved him down.

At 6000m they saw Chinese Rope Fixers and yelled for help. The fixers saw them in the foggy distance and helped to slowly make their way down the mountain to a yak. After a 22km journey to base camp, they called a helicopter to transport him to the Kathmandu Hospital. Gills mother was waiting and were furious about what he had done, and how he had put others in danger. He slowly started to realize what his mother was talking about. But the real question is… will he make his 5th attempt?.
