Brunner Mine Site Trip

Yesterday we went to the Brunner Mine Site to learn about the explosion on the 26 of March 1896. I really enjoyed It because we got to explore the cemetery and we also did some acting like miming and saying some poems. 

I learnt lots about what they used like tools and ways they got the coal out. Something interesting I found out the day of the explosion they tried to force the ponies in the mine but the ponies could smell something so they would kick and bite the men.  The men got sacks to put over the ponies face and forced them in the mine. They were killed in the explosion.                                                               

I really enjoyed this trip and am looking forward to learning more about this site in class.

    Hi Katelin, Thanks for sharing your reflection of out class trip to the Brunner Mine Site. I like how you shared some of the facts you learnt while we were there. My favourite activity was when you dressed up and posed for photos. I was impressed with your ability to take on the emotions of the character you were playing. What was your favourite activity?
