Today our most local school, Arrowtown came and learnt all about gold mining!!! The four Year 7 & 8 classes spent a one hour session each perfecting three different mining methods in the Arrow River - panning, cradling and sluicing! They also hand washed a dirty apron using a washboard!

Some were already mining experts - thanks to the boys with their sluice!! And quite a few others found gold!! Well done.

We hope you had a good time & look forward to your comments on this blog.
