Bridges

This bridge is located in a park near our schools. Beneath it a river flows filled with tiny fish and frogs.

On this particular day the children were asked to consider what the purpose of a bridge might be.

They did not consider that bridges enable people to cross over spaces that would otherwise not be accessible by foot, car or train. Bridges take us over rivers, lakes, streams and brooks, across fields, forests and mountain ridges keeping us connected to people and places.

  For the children it was a place of action.

 A place to run, crawl, roll, skip, race and hop!
