There are lots of young people working that time, one of the easiest job that they can do is the trapper it is the easiest job for young people they just open and close the door so there is a fresh air coming in the mine, but there is one negative thing about this job, it is going to be boring if you open and close the door everyday.

They also have different jobs the British got the better jobs and the Maoris got the worst and least paying jobs after the war. In the battlefield they worked as a team and became friends. Then went their separate ways.

Wovles

This week was Book Week Mrs Anderson gave us a task. First we read one of Emily Gravett's books called 
Wolves. Our class enjoyed the book. After reading the book we made a DLO based on  wolves. We were to make 
a table: One side which had what we think about wolves and the other side saying what is true about wolves.
 For example if the myth was Wolves and dogs are related we were to search up if it was true or not and tell why.
 I really had a fun time doing this.

MeerKats

Today the teacher read to us a book written and illustrated by Emily Gravett. The book was about MeerKats and the life that they live. By listening to the story we took information from there and made a blog post about MeerKats. We have learnt a lot about MeerKats including where they live and what they like to eat. They like to eat snakes and eggs, but they prefer scorpions because their nice and crunchy. They are cute and friendly animals that almost nobody know about. The next blog post is going to be about wolves and we're going to do the same thing that we did with this blog post, listening to the story and creating a blog post about them.
