This year in 4th Class we have been learning all about climbing and Mount Everest. In November, a special visitor called Rob came into our class and spoke to us about his climbing experiences.
We were all very eager to ask Rob lots of questions
Rob brought us prayer flags from Nepal in November
He even brought prizes for the people who asked the best questions.
A few weeks later, we were notified that Rob was planning to climb Mount Everest, one of the most daring mountains in the world. At first we were scared. Our teacher came up with a plan. We decided to design and sign a wonderful flag that Rob would bring with him on his adventure and take a photo of it at the summit.
We all signed our flag, including the teachers!
4th Class with our flag
We heard from Rob yesterday. He has safely reached base camp on the Tibetan side of Everest. Keep an eye on the blog if you would like to follow our flag as it travels to the top of the world.
A photo of Base Camp sent to us from Rob.
