Yesterday T1 and T2 were lucky enough to have "The Mines Afire" author Thelma Eakin. She answered our questions and we had a look at a safety lamp and a copper version of 1 of the miners statue in town. She co write this book with her friend Susan Battye. We are reading this book at the moment, it is very interesting. One interesting thing we learnt was that Mr O'Flynn actually locked the door so the kids couldn't escape, but they managed to escape in the end. We all felt very lucky to have her yesterday.

Hello it's Adam form T1, I really like your post. Wow it's a shame I wasn't here yesterday, do like the book? Do you have a favourite scene in the book so far? Mine is where the baby is born and Timmy has to rush to his Uncle.
ReplyDeleteAnd did you enjoy the historic Brunner mine trip on Monday.
Overall I really like your post.
Yours sincerely
ADAM
