In Primary 5 we have been very busy.
We were learning about Thomas Telford. EW
He was an architect who designed bridges. HG
He designed different types of bridges. JL
He was a stonemason from Dumfriesshire. NY
He also designed canals and roads. TE
He was born in 1757 and died in 1834. KP/ TE
We made bridges and they were meant to be able to hold a cup of marbles. Most of them succeeded. CC
We used straws, paper, card, tape, rubber bands and string to make them. HM
We worked really hard and it took two lessons to finish. JL
It was really hard to make it stand and to balance and to make it strong. JWF
We worked in teams to make them. KP
We worked in teams because it would take too long to work by ourselves. HM
