Today, we had one of the authors of The Mine's Afire, Thelma Eakin come on and talk to us. We asked her questions and she gave us the answers. I was happy with the way the classes behaved and listened, and it was very interesting hearing what the author thought of her book. She also brought in a few things to show us: A safety lamp and a brass mini replica of the memorial statue on the flood wall.
Hey Hannah,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your thoughts about Thelma's visit. I really enjoyed her coming in and found her really interesting to listen to as she talked about her book. I didn't realise that she had written a play about the Brunner Mine too!
Keep up the great work!
Miss H
