Rock Piles




Rock Piling


Today in social studies we learned about the gold rush and our teacher took us into a ditch to show us where the people 150 years ago moved rocks from one place to the other. They were looking for gold they were also called miners. One day as they were working they took a break and while they were on their break the dam broke and water went everywhere and flooded haft the people in Lillooet and it flushed out half of the town. Before that happened Lillooet was almost bigger than Vancouver. Then when the dam broke a lot of the people either left or got washed away because most of the people lived in tents and in was easy to get washed away. Way back then the miners used a pan called the gold pan that pan was used for scooping up the gold from the shore of the river. The people had to check a million times to see if it was real gold. A piece of gold was probably about 20 to 70 dollars. It took about 1 to 3 day’s to walk to the river.

The Snow


On the weekend it was snowing. There were snowstorms all around Lillooet. This morning, on cars there were small bits of snow and ice. At times it was snowing, hailing and there was freezing rain. This was a surprise for all of us in Lillooet.



P.E


P.E was fun today. Today we worked on skipping and doing tricks it was so cool. We raced to one side of the gym to the other. A few people were last but some were fast and made it to the other side really quickly. We listened to music while we were doing all of it. We were all having fun and Georgetta and I showed a trick it was fun. By Holly
