Yesterday (2nd Feb) we went on a trip to Big Pit.
I was too scared to go down the mine so I spent some time going to see the exhibition with some people from the other classes. When my class came back from the mine we went back to the exhibition and made some notes and took some photos to include in our report. There were a lot of interesting exhibitions with things on display such as the miners uniforms and lamps.
Also we went to a 'fake' mine which was like a reinactment of the real one. It was in a big tunnel and included the equipment, sound effects and a tour guide on the tv screen telling you all of the information. When you had to move on to the next part of the 'mine', the lights went out behind you and came on in front of you so you knew where to go next. But when they were telling us about how they set off explosions in the mine to make the tunnels longer, there was a big BOOM! sound effect which sent myself, Carrie and Josie screaming and running for the door! But we braved it and went back in afterwards and finished the exhibition!
Despite the weather, over all it was an enjoyable day and we gained some good information to put towards our report.
