Today, saw the first of four visits by Clyde School to the museum. The weather was perfect and once the sun came over the hills, life as a miner didn't seem quite so difficult!

Room 1 students (Year 5 & 6) completed three activites during their day. Exploring the Chinese village and seeing how these miners lived.....aren't you pleased you don't have to live in those small huts in winter???!! with only a few hours each day of sunshine it would have been FREEZING! The activity in the museum saw clipbaords and pencils out as students searched for information about life on the goldfields of Arrowtown and Otago. The Clyde students were excellent at the life of a miner challenge with most finding gold and some even getting food to eat! Could you have coped as a miner??

Room 1 we hope you had a great day out!! We certainly did. Post us some comments about your visit on this blog!
