Author Visit
As part of book week year 2 had a special author visit. Samantha Tidy wrote the book The Day the Bridge was Built.
We learnt many fun facts about the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge including
- it took 8 years to build.
- 4000 people worked on the bridge.
- they tested the strength of the bridge by driving steam locomotives onto the bridge
- a nine year old rode his horse 1000 kilometres on his own to see the opening of the bridge
Samantha inspired us to share our ideas and dreams so one day they can come true.

Budding Pilots
In our inquiry we have been investigating how transport has changed over time and the impact it has on people's lives.
Earlier this week we boarded a flight and flew to New York. Luckily it was a very smooth flight with no turbulence.
Yesterday we excitedly explored a real pilot's uniform. We were amazed at how heavy the boots were and eagerly tried the uniforms on.

What other forms of transport requires special clothes?

Blast from the Past
It has been fantastic to have so many children bringing in a huge range of items from the past. For the teachers these items have sparked some nostalgia, whilst the students have mostly been curious! It has been wonderful seeing peers teaching one another about 'strange' items they haven't seen before and the discussions and questions have supported the quality learning that has taken place in our history inquiry.
This week for inquiry we have started taking a closer look at the invention of the wheel and how that has influenced the introduction of the motor vehicle. Students have delved into the past and compared it to what we know now through a series of activities and questions. We have included a slideshow for you to view with pictures and links to videos if you and your child would like to explore further at home.
History of Cars
Over the next few weeks we will explore some other forms of transport, looking at how they have changed and what impact that has had on daily lives.
