Brunner Mine Trip
Yesterday Totara 2 went to the Brunner Mine Site. We have been studying the novel, The Mine's Afire! which is set at Brunnerton at the time of the Brunner Mine explosion. We got to visit the actual site of the mine, see where the characters lived and we even went to the cemetery to visit the mass grave where a lot of the miners were buried. We started the day with some background information. We had to act out some scenes, we took a tour of the mine site, and we learnt how they made coke (not the drink or the drug!) Check out the photos below of our super cool day. A huge thank you to the teachers from Shantytown and the parents who accompanied us on this trip. We couldn't do it without you!

I like your post I like the bit were you said you went for a tour around the mine site maybe you can add a video clip so we can watch a video off what you did inside the Brunner mine site.

The video's were awesome and the pictures showed me that you were having a great time. Maybe you should have sentences of what the students have to say about the trip and what they learnt.
Hi my name is Ari from Kaingaroa school I am a yr7 student, I like literacy. That was quality I like how you studied it, first and visited it. I can see this has been made with lots of effort. It would have been lots of fun to go there. Next time don't add so much images. Did you see it explode? My favorite part were the videos.
