Waihi Mine Trip

Week 5, Term 2

In Week 5 of term 2 Rooms 11, 12 and 13 went to the Waihi Goldmine. We learnt about how the mine works. This was part of our inquiry about sustainability; we are exploring the following question: Can we continue to use the earth’s resources without threatening further generations? We learnt about the company’s sustainable practices and their plans for the future.We all created a key chain with symbols to remember the gold mine. We all got to hold gold and silver, it was very heavy. Phil who works at the mine helped us to scan QR codes and make powerpoints. We would like to thank all the parents and helpers on this trip. We all loved the day!
