Samara conquers Mount Cook

As a part of Room 2's Writing programme, the students have been asked to write a diary recount on different New Zealand's famous landmarks and tourist spots. Here is Sarama's diary entry for Mt Cook.

Dear Diary

I am finally back home from Mt Cook and it has been a month since I have back.

Now I am going to tell you about Mount Cook.

I woke up on a Tuesday very early and started to climb on the steepest part of Mt Cook. I found base camp.

I put up a tent by myself. After that I got my pick axe and started to climb. I threw down my rope because I went to high!

I did reach the summit, and at the summit I had a beer and chocolate cake. I felt very proud standing at the summit.
