Bridge building

Today Ali and Amy's reading groups participated in a technology challenge. They had to work in a team of 4 to create a bridge over an Indonesion river that Charlie the Orangatang had to cross in his jeep in order to escape from the forest fires in the rainforest. Keep posted to see how we went. Did Charlie manage to escape?

I Think Rats Are The Best Pets                               Jimmy Lepper

Think rats are the best pets and I’m going to tell you why you should get a rat.

The first best reason is that they are friendly. They are always close to you and they run down your T shirt .

Secondly they are soft. They are soft because of their big hairy bodies.

Lastly they don’t take up much room.

That’s why I think rats are cool.
