Activity 2: One Small Step for Man [4 points]
Neil Armstrong was an American astronaut and engineer. In 1969, Neil and his team of astronauts flew to the moon in a spacecraft called Apollo 11. When they arrived, Neil got out of the spacecraft and walked on the moon. He is the first person in history to walk on the moon! As Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, he famously said, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
As you can imagine, landing on the moon is a very dangerous task. Many things can go wrong, and a number of astronauts have died attempting to land on the moon. Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins (the three astronauts on Apollo 11) must have been extremely brave.
I always imagine that walking on the moon must be like jumping on the trampoline! Do you like jumping on a trampoline? My daughter Laila loves it!
For this activity, let’s imagine that you were Neil Armstrong.
On your blog, write a short poem describing how you felt when you first set foot on the moon. Here is a link to some different poetry forms.
The moon is bright and white, I am so exited to lay my foot on it.
It's a world recored im about to break, I'm not going to rely on it.
Im so happy and joly to have the first step of excitement in this weird environment!
Hi Lukas, this is Mrs Collins from Manaiakalani and I'll be commenting on blogs over term break. Well done on posting and participating in the SLJ this year. I really like the poem you created about walking on the moon - would you REALLY like to walk on the moon? I'm not too sure I'd like the journey there... Keep blogging, and commenting on others, to increase your chance of winning one of the awesome prizes and to keep up your learning over the school break!
ReplyDeleteThank you Collin, I would like it and not like the experience.

Malo e lelei Lukas,
ReplyDeleteIts me Christopher.
How are you doing? It great to see your up to date on the Summer Learning Journey. I think you could've done better on your poem.
Because what world record are you going to break and how are you going to break it? Also it says to write about your experience as you land on the moon but you haven't done that.
Besides that your doing a great job!

Talofa Lava Lukas,
ReplyDeleteI just want to say that it is great to see you blogging! Just make sure to re-read your writing before you blog it because you wrote Joly instead of Jolly which means being Happy!
Great Job!
