This story is set during the gold rush period of the 1860s. Jacob's mum buys bok choy from one of the Chinese miners, Ah Sum, who grows vegetables to supplement what he makes mining. Mrs Bishop, her neighbour is disgusted that she would buy from the Chinese. When they are alone Jacob is teased by William Bishop. If only Ah Sum had come at some other time! Jacob escapes the teasing by going fishing. His foot slips and he is swept into the river. He is saved by Ah Sum, who looks after him until his mother arrives. Jacob learns about the life of a miner, who is living far from his loved ones.

Get your school a free trial of our growth mindset resources…
Over 3,000 teachers have been using these resources during last term's COVID lock-down.
These resources will reduce planning time and supplement your literacy and mental health programmes.
They are built on 25 core social and emotional learning competencies proven to improve student resilience, well-being, and achievement. They reflect our desire to support the mental and emotional health of our students in NZ schools.
This trial runs for term 4, and all we will ask of you at the end of this time is some feedback on how they went for you…
Kind regards,
Darren and the Journal Surf team 🙂🙂🙂
