         WALT:Ask a question.      

      How many people died??

The answer to this question is 65 men and boys were killed in the brunner mine disaster.If you want more info,check out the book The Mines Afire.Mrs Clark is reading us this book in class,and we have been doing many activities in class based on it,like this post.If you don't know what the brunner mine disaster is,a quick explanation is that there was a gas explosion in the Brunner mine at 9:30 on march 26,1896.Some fun facts are on the drawing up top.

We are reading this book because on camp,we will be going to Westport to look at the mines.We will probably be doing a blog post on that,so keep an eye out!!

Thanks for reading!
