brunner mine site

Monday just gone my class went to the Brunner mine site and it has a lot of history. We have been reading a book about it called mines Afire it is about the Brunner mine explosion that killed 65 men and boys. After we visited the mine site we went to the still water cemetery where 33 of the miners where buried. The rest where either in family plots or buried at the greymouth cemetery. At the still water cemetery there is something called a mass grave that is where the 33 miners where buried together. At the Brunner mine site we had to role play what happened and also at the still water cemetery we had to pay respect and read some of the names of the dead miners. Here is a location and a photo of the Brunner mine site.

Weekly reflection T1W5

This week on Monday Grey Main put a cricket team through to the nine a side cricket and we had some good games. Our first game was against Paroa, we decided to field first so they were batting they managed to get 35 runs out of 20 overs. Then it was our turn to bat, we had some really good batters and managed to get 86 runs out of 20 overs. Next it was the finals we were versing St Pats. It was a really good game we only lost by 10 runs so that means we were placed 2nd in the competition.
