Lets Build a Bridge to Get Over It.

We have started a new novel study in Room 5 on the book The Mines Afire.  This book is based on the Brunner Mine site.  So far in the book we have learnt about the bridge across the Grey river and how different it was back in the late 1800's.  We also have been looking at all the different famous bridges around the world.  The children were given the opportunity to design and build their own bridge with just once criteria........it must be able to hold a sphereo.  This was a wonderful activity that allowed the children to experiment, build and show some of the key competencies, while having a fantastic Funday Friday!

  2. Hi room five, I'm Sophie. You guys have put a lot of effort into these awesome bridges you made!I quite like the one that has a roof and sticks crossing over each other. I reckon it kind of looks like the railway bridge on the way to Hokitika.AWESOME WORK ROOM 5!
