This term we have been studying the novel 'The Mines Afire'. This book is based around the Brunner Mine explosion in 1896 where 65 men and boys were killed. Over the term we have based our inquiry study around mining here on the West Coast. During this camp we were able to see what the past of mining looked like by visiting the Brunner Mine Site and doing some activities with the educators from Shantytown. We also visited the Coal Museum in Westport and Denniston with the massive incline that they used to get the coal down to the bottom of the hill. We finished the camp by visiting a working mine and looking at the present state of our mining. Here are some snaps of the experiences we had.
Hi Room 5!

Thank you to all of you who shared your exciting stories with me at school. I loved hearing about your favourite activities.
I was wondering, if you could go on another school camp, where would you like to go next?
