Pike River Mine Disaster - My Article

A Gas Explosion - Traps All

One Friday the 19th November 29 men got stuck down in the Pike River Mine. The youngest is only 17 years of age, he was eager to start work at the mine. The oldest miner was a 64 four year old. They are stuck down there because of a gas explosion. If they put a camera down into the mine, they are fearing that they will cause another explosion. The mine is located 46km northeast of GreyMouth. Halfway between GreyMouth and Reefton. The drill has to try and get through 150m of solid rock. A team of Australians are in ChristChurch, should the Mercy Mission need them ?

Loud Shirt Day !

Today is Loud Shirt Day ! At our school ( St Andrews Middle School ) we are participating in Loud Shirt Day by wearing mufti. We are also wearing loud shirts. Loud shirts are bold and bright shirts or shirts that have writing on them ! This is celebrated nation wide to support the deaf people, to funraise money for them. It is usually a gold coin donation, but they will accept any other money because every cent counts. The money goes towards helping the deaf people like : the little children that are suffering but also it goes towards the adults that are also suffering from being deaf. =]

HR and JS Japanese Dialogue

In our class, our teacher Ms Fraser is teaching us some Japanese. We had to change languages in the middle of the year so it has been very hard. In the video we are saying : hello, how are you and goodbye. I could have done better because i think that we needed to say a lot more in our Japanese dialogue video. But anyway i think i did ok =]
