Visiting Author (Brunner Mine)

 

Through The couple of week we have been reading a book could The Mines afire and we haven't finished it all but we are near the end of the book. But Yesterday we had the writer come in and talk about the book of mine afire and we got to ask some questions as well. It was interesting to hear that basically the whole book is true. My class wanted to know if it was true or not if the older kids put the younger ones in the curtains and heaved them through the windows. But now days I don't think school kids do that now. I am happy that I got to find out a lot of information about the book And about herself. You should go read the book yourself It has a lot of detail from what happened back in the day.

Brunner Mine Site 25/3/19

The past couple of weeks we have been reading a book could mines a fire and we are half way through the book now And on 25/3/19 we went out to Brunner mine With my class. When we were out at Brunner mine we had to do different type of stuff some of the stuff were, we had to meme a play out of the book that we are ready and basically all groups had about 5 to 6 people in there groups. We had to dress up and get a photo shoot done. What I was Wearing - A skirt -White T-shirt - A hat - Black Coat. The next thing we did was my group had to answer questions that were all over the wall in the place that we ate in.  
The book Mines A fire is really inserting. Today we had the author From mines a fire come into school today and my class T1 and T2 got to ask her some questions today. 
I didn't ask any because I didn't have any in mind at the time. But it was Good to here that almost everything in the book is true and it's funny to know that in the book the older kids used to put the little ones in the curtains and heave them through the windows and then the younger ones would open the door For them. I am happy that I found out a lot of detail that happened back in the day.
On Tuesday It was the anniversary since the big explosion happened and it was 23 years ago.
here are some photos of the mine.....

Colour Day 22nd March 2019

Last week was a tragic week because on Friday 15th March 2019 there was a Mass shooting in Christchurch and it was sad to hear that 49 people past. It makes it more sad to hear that a 3 year old called Mujaad (Mucad) Ibrahim past away on the next day.  A 14 year old named Sayyad Milne past away from the tragic shooting as well. To know that someone would do this to such kind and loving people it breaks my heart to hear that we have lost 49 amazing souls in the attack. To all those people that got injured Greymouth is praying that you are all getting better.
I would just like to say that everyone that past was a kind and amazing we all love yous dearly.
