Mystery Buddies

Our Mystery Buddies are feeling neglected....

Now that you know how to make a Table of Contents (don't try to do this until I have taught you...)please go and create headings and update the Table of Contents. I fixed up this one to show you what it should look like!

Then, you must create a new post in your doc. Maybe call it holidays? Or Main Stars? Or anything you like. 

Also ask another question to see if you can find out where they live!

Greymouth is 150 years old! It has been 150 years since our town was officially settled. Of course there were people here before that but that was when it was officially a 'town'!

Your first challenge: Think of your favourite place in Greymouth. It must be a place that was here go so you CANNOT choose 'The Warehouse' or the 'Skate park'.

Find a picture of what your favourite place may have looked like 150 years ago and paste it into this presentation.
