I read the Bridges article from The Three Billy Goats Gruff big book to the children. We went over the different types of bridges: girder, arch, suspension; the history of bridges; materials used; and purposes. I asked the children who had had to cross a bridge to come to school.
Oliver: I had to go over one, and it's a type of bridge that opens sometimes. To let boats through. There's water under it and we go across it.
Stella: When we went to Rottnest we had to go under a bridge, not over it. It was really dark and we had to switch our lights on.
Sam: I like that bridge (pointing to a picture of the Sydney Harbour Bridge). It's a steel one.
Chloe (pointing to a wood and rope bridge): I have been on that bridge before. It had some wood and some ropes.
Kealeigh (pointing to a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge): My uncle went to that bridge. It's famous.
