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.
