Take a look at the objects in the picture. They are all connected with the life of a miner in some way (either at home or at work). Can you name the items and tell me something about them?

Learning about mining and tommy armstrong has been very fun and nowing some equipment of these is cool.And also theres a pan shovel. There is also a poss that is also called a dolly to clean clothe, and the pan shovel is to gather up the coal that has been mined!

My goodness, some of these look very familiar, especially the clippy mat. My grandma used to make these for her neighbours and I remember helping her when I was young which was a long, long time ago!!!

Well done Georgia! You have not only remembered the object names but also what they were used for. Just remember to always read through your blog posts to correct any errors!

Excellent Kate! You can name a lot of the items. Not only that I can tell that you have enjoyed the topic and gained a lot from it. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
