Westport Camp 2019

                  Westport Camp!!

This years camp was at Westport! It was at Westport because we are looking at mining this term,and Westport is based a lot on mining.
The slide above explains heaps, but an other favourite thing of mine was awards night, when everyone got chocolate for real or made-up things. I was little miss Kindness, and Nova was little miss Nosy-Parker, well Victoria was little miss Onezie!
My favourite part out of all of them was probably Denniston or awards night.
I think you should go to Westport. There is a lot of interesting stuff there!

         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!!

     Hello! Welcome to my blog for 2019!

            I'm your hostess,Emily.

I am a yr 6 student in M1 at Grey Main School and am looking forward to sharing my work with you. So far this year,we have made time capsules,letters to spell Manaakitanga,and made raps and poems about ourselves! My favourite activity was making time capsules,which at the end of the year we will open and see how much we have changed.I look forward to it! I think that you should try making one.They're really cool!

I am looking forward to learning what happens in our book,the mines afire.

My favourite subject is literacy.
