This morning we went down to the Snowy River and were told we were to build a bridge. Our objective was to build a bridge long enough to get out about 7 meters where a canoe was sitting with ‘treasure’ inside of it. We were taught how to do a couple of knots and when to use these knots. Then we learnt how to construct a tripod. After that we were told to go on our own and build a bridge to the canoe and retrieve the ‘treasure’. We built another 2 tripods and then moved these tripods into the water a few meters apart. Next we constructed beams to lay in between the tripods to walk on. We made it to the canoe and everyone grabbed a piece of treasure. Everything worked well because everyone took part and worked hard. Well done to 2B for a well-constructed bridge!
