Why Do People Build Bridges?

Why Do People Build Bridges?


During the 20th century, we see many bridges that are under construction.
There are different reasons why people build bridges, and there are also different
types of bridges. There are lots of famous bridges all around the world, like
brooklyn bridge, Golden Gate Bridge and Auckland Harbour bridge.


There are lots of reasons why people build bridges and one of them is to make
the transport easier and safer for the people that live across the river.
As I said earlier there are many reasons why people build bridges: You don’t
need to use a punt just to cross the river, you can cross the river faster and safer.
Some of the bridges is made so cars can go through and boats can go under the
bridge. Also some bridges is not in the water some of them use to go above the
railway.


There are lots of use of bridges and one of them is to go above the railways.
It is much safer than making a crossing for trains and cars. Using bridge is
much faster, instead of going around, you can just put a bridge so you don’t have
to travel for a long time. Bridges above the railway has a tunnel at the bottom of
it so the train can go through it is much safer and faster for the vehicles to go
above the railway.


Using a punt is like trying to put a yarn in a needle. It is really hard and there
is a chance that you might fall over and drowned. Sometimes punts are not
available, if its broken and also you need permission to fix it because it is
from the government. Using bridge is much safer and convenient than using a punt
or a boat to go across the river. If there were no bridge it is impossible to go across
the river with your car or vehicle.


We see a lots bridges that are under construction. There are different reasons
why people build bridges.  In USA there is one of the famous bridge and it is the
Golden Gate Bridge, it is a suspension bridge and it is made to hold the loads
of cars and other vehicles.

Today for KiwiCan we've been learning about perseverance. Perseverance is trying your best not to give up, you can use it anywhere and perseverance is the best quality of the person. You can use perseverance in sport or at school, in sport if you fell down don't get frustrated and don't give up, in school you can persevere on your subjects like maths if you don't know the answer you can ask the teacher for help and don't give up. Our energiser for today is called tangle, our goal is not to get frustrated on the game and don't blame it to others, and also work as a team. Our activitie is called the invible touch, some of us get frustrated but we never give up and work as a team to win, but unfortunately we lose but it was a fun game and we learn how to control our frustration.

Exponents - Power




Today for maths we are learning how to solve exponents also called powers. First we solve 18 question about exponents and powers, I solve everything but I got two wrong. To solve the exponents it is really easy you just need to know your timetables. The first question is asking what is 5 to the power of 3, the first one is 5 x 5 = 25 then the second one is 25 which is from the 5 x 5, it is going to be 25 x 5 = 125 and that's your answer it is really easy. If the power is 2 it is called squared and if the power is 3 it is called cubed.
