Today we visited the National Slate Museum where we learned more about slate. We looked at old miner’s cottages from 140 years ago and Mr Bolsover had a go at slate splitting.

After we had lunch we got on the tram to up the muontain o the copper mine. The copper mines are as old as the pyramids or Stonehenge. We put on our hard hats and went deep underground.
After that we got back on the tram and went to the top of the mountain where there was an adventure playground.

In the evening we went down to the beach again. We played cricket and hunted for crabs.

Hi Melissa
It would take us about an hour or two hours but at the hotel it was about 5 minutes because it was down the road.

Hi everyone,
When i held the crab it felt really weird. We had lots of fun putting the poor thing in the rock pools. Lets hope one of the seagulls hasn’t eaten him! (whoops):)

Going to the slate museum was really funny because Mr Bolsover got to cut the slate in half. He got to take some slate home with him. That must be very good to take the slate home with you. Next we went to the gift shop that was cool to.

The miners cottages where really scary i thought someone would jump out and scare you but they didn’t. The houses where really good though.
