Visiting Thelma Eakin

This Week we were very lucky to have Thelma Eakin in our classroom and ask her about her story "The Mines Afire". Thelma was very nice and answered all our questions with detailed answers. We learnt new things about the story like Mr O Flynn locked the door and that Thomas Carter was actual based on a real person who is living in Dixon house. Thelma also brought some things to show us like one of the Lamps they used to use to tell if there was poison in the mines, and Her Grammy Thelma calls it which is really a mini copper statue like the one at our flood wall. I really enjoyed Thelma coming to talk to us.
