Some work from class to share

These are the two poems that were shared at assembly last week by Luca and Ethan.  They were written using the model 'The Town' by James K Baxter and their language choices and the way that they have structured their poems makes the poems really enjoyable to read.

 Here is a good example of a diagram of a pick axe created by Hunter.  It is clearly labelled, has a title, includes some information about the uses of a pickaxe and the presentation is excellent.

Luca's Trip to Mace Town

Three good interactive websites about gold

Here are three really good interactive websites about Gold.

The first is about a treasure hoard found in Europe of gold owned by the Saxons from 650 - 700 AD.

The second two are Australian based interactive activities and focus on the Gold Rush in Australia which was around the same time as the Rush in New Zealand. In the first you are able to look at all the mining techniques that have been used from early days until now.  In the second you are a miner in Australia and have to provision yourself, collect the correct equipment, buy a permit than try your luck at mining...
