  1. Hi again Nishka,

    Are you enjoying the Summer Learning Journey so far? What has been your favourite activity to do?

    Interviewing Sir Edmund Hillary would be very cool! I think it must have been so tiring to climb all the way up Mount Everest, and really really cold! Do you think they had special clothes to wear to make sure they didn't freeze?

    Yum, chocolate cupcakes are super delicious! Where did you get your recipe for them from? Have you made cupcakes at home before?

    Keep up the good work :)
