Bridge cartoon

In inquiry this term me and Viva have been collaborating with each other brain storming ideas for our story board animation that tells the story of the first bridge and second panmure bridge been built. Before bridges were invented people used to travel across the tamaki river on a punt which was really difficult because sometimes there would be bad weather and other times the punt would flip over. Then in 1865 the first panmure bridge was built out of wood, logs that came from the trunk of the kauri tree. This bridge only lasted for a small period of time and then collapsed into pieces. This is when engineers thought that building a bridge out of wood will not support the bridge because wood was not the type of material that bridge builders wouldn´t normally use anymore. So comparing the busted down bridge they thought that they needed a more stronger material. The next pile of material was concrete that came from Sydney Australia on a ship. This made bridge building a little more complicated because they needed to pay for the bridge. Wants payments went into building/ Constructing the second panmure bridge they needed help to build the bridge. They needed a crane to put down the materials and ships to bring the materials on. Wants the bridge was completed it was opened on the 14th of October 1916 when Prime minister William Massey drove over the bridge with a steam roller.
