Today we watched a video about some of the most interesting bridges that have been built. Some of the bridges we saw were in mountains, across canyons and in rainforests. Some were built in the 17th and 18th centuries and still standing!! One of the most interesting bridges were ones that were made out of the roots of trees by indigenous people. After seeing all of the unique ideas, we sketched our own bridges that could be used by animals, people or vehicles. We had to decide what the purpose of our bridge would be, the materials it was made out of and where in the world it would be built. Ask me about my design.
Today we had outdoor phys ed. We will be outside for phys ed for the rest of the year as long as the weather is nice! Please make sure you have suitable shoes for outside as well as hats and sunglasses (if you would like to wear them) and water bottles. Students may bring or wear sunscreen or bug spray however teachers are unable to help apply or supply both.
Just a reminder that we will begin testing bridges next Monday. Hopefully you have started to build your bridge! Remember if you need supplies please talk to Ms. Binks asap
Reminders:
- Library tomorrow. Please return your books
- Fun lunch Thursday
- Bridges due next Monday May 8
