On the Thursday the 8 of August Mr Gault came and told us about Sir Edmund Hillary's sleeping bag that he used when he climbed Mt Everest.
Mr Gault explained how Edmund had to climb in the top of his sleeping bag as it didn't have a zipper.
It took Sir Edmund Hillary 2 months to climb Mount Everest.
Sir Edmund Hillary had a wife and 3 children.
He did a lot of work in Nepal starting schools for children who were very poor, because it is very poor around that part of the world. His wife and children would come and see him when he was there sometimes.
Although he was the first to climb Mount Everest he had a very sad life too.
When he was in Nepal his wife and youngest daughter were coming to see him but their plane crashed and they both passed away.
Then his friend died in the plane crash on Mount Erebus.
