Crossing the river…

Posted by: Mr Alderdice | January 28, 2010 | 97 Comments |

 

This is a game we have played in class before, so I am expecting some imaginative and original ideas.

How do you get across the river? You cannot use a boat! That is too easy!

Here is an example to start you off, but I am sure you can think of something better:

I can use an overhanging branch from a tree to catapult myself to the other side.

Great start Max! :-)

What are you making your bridge out of?

Make a raft out of branches and paddle across.

Hi Mr Alderdice.
Hope you like my response.
Chop off a thin but long piece of wood from a tree. Make sure theres no spikey bits so you cut yourself. Then paddle across on your body board.
See you next week

You could use a Crocodile as a surf-board.

Martha, how will you get rocket shoes?

Drive home come back with a jet pack and fly over the river.

Martha WOW cool fantanstic brillant fab what a good idea could I use it.

Ask Dorithy if you can borow her hose and fly over the rainbow

Find a dolphin and sing to make it go across the

Get swallowed by a whale , light a fire in its tummy and it will sneeze you out of its spout to the other side of the river. Tom

Wow, these are amazing ideas everyone. I love the idea of borrowing a rainbow off the Munchkins.

You could summon a fire type pokemon to burn the river.

By George

Get a giant nale file and float across.

I think our blog is great. I love it from eva xxxx

gets loads and loads of people and get them to hold hands and feet and then walk across them like a bridge. easy !!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought Zach would have cycled across on a specially designed water bike-he’s such a good cyclist!
Very creative Tom, but imagine being caught up in all that whale saliva-yuk!
Olivia has my vote I love dolphins and singing-super idea but then again you’ve all had good ideas. Well done guys. How about you each ask Mr Alderdice to get his trunks on and take turns having him swim you across on his back.

I’m not sure I am such a fan of that idea Miss Ferris! In any case, my class are such super swimmers that I am sure they could manage on their own!

Mr Alderdice

ask a water type pokemon to carry you across on his back

Get a flying saucer and manuover it across.

Hi guys

what about asking mary popins if you can borrow her umberella and fly across or ask my guinea pigs to do the loudest weeeeeep they could.

From Mimixxxxx

Hey Year 3! I am very impressed with all your ideas. I will get my thinking cap on and try and come up with something. I like the idea of being taken across by the dolphin!
Miss Taylor.

I would ask Aladdin if I could borrow his magic carpet and fly across on it! From Eliya

trie to be Tarsan and get a tree branch then swing across.

Get some loges ty them together and floot.

Get a dog and jump on it.

get dorithys magic shoes and fly across.

get speshel running boots and run acros

Cross on Mr Alderdice’s back and let him swim for us to go across”Faster and Faster Mr Alderdice!”

i like the idea of getting rocket shoes nice going martha i will go with that

emily c y6 xxx

You could swim or borrow wings from a bird or ask a friend to give you some rocket boots

To get to the other side of the river, I would freeze the river and then skate across it.

I love max’s idea of freezing the river and skating across. You definately get my vote Max.

Maria.R Y6 XX

You can wait untill it is christmas I wil ice skate cross but if it cracks I will skate untill i fall x

Maybe we could ride on the back of a Hiffogryph! Or maybe we could freeze it and skate across? Maybe we could drink the water, and walk across! What if we got the whale out of the Just So stories to take us across? Or, because Miss Ferris loves dolphins, we could swim on the backs of them?

I would get the dolphin and get to the other side but I might stay on the dolphin.

I love max’s idea by getting a girilla to make you jump over to the other side! Fantastic idea, love it!

What I would do is be like Snow White, and sing to make all the birds come flying to you, then they can carry you across to the other side of the river.

Hi Mr Alderdice’s class!
It’s Eva’s sister,Eleanor.:)
To cross the bridge I would probably get loads of logs and make a bridge out of them. Thank you and goodbye.

I would get loads of logs and make them into a bridge! p.s I’m Eva’s sister and I think your blog is awsome!

jump across

get a tardis and fly across

get a lot of cardbord boxes

Get Mr Alderdices trousers tie a knot in each leg then blow them up and float across on them.

I have a little sister called Eleanor

She says get a balloon hold it tight until you get to the other side.

It’s lovely to see you are working with your little sister Ursula. Have you looked at Eleanor’s class blog yet?

ask max and the magic marker to draw a bridge.

Ask the doctor to teleport you across in his Tardis.
From Laurie

How to cross a river.

Snap a branch from a tree then do the same.Next gather some leaves and tye them up with the branches. Then Finealy find two long logs and a sharp stone and carve two paddles.then sail across the river.

I think all the schools ideas are fab, and I don’t think I can decide on the best one!

Emily Y6

get freya’s trosers then put some loges in them then
flote across.

Suck inwards to make the clouds come towards you and when they are close enough jump on one and wait for it to move so it will stop at the other side and jump of.

You could get some logs and biuld a raft.Or you could wait untill winter and the river will have frozen.

(all my idears.)George

Say funtty and you will be across the river.Get a wizzid then ask him if you can fly across.magicly make a chello apear and then play so loudly that it will fly across.Get a hourse and magicly galep to the other side of the river.Draw a picture of a bridge and it will come to life then walk across.

from Orlaith, Myarr and Eliya

get superman to fly you across!

George

WOW!
Orlaith,I love the idear of being Tarzan.

George

Get a load of footballs and put them on the river
and bounce across.

Get a athlete to throw you across.

1.Become an angel and fly across. 2. Tie a rope to a golf ball and tie the other end to yourself. Next, get a golf club and hit the golf ball to the other side . Hopefully you will follow!
3.Buy a rocket, hold onto the middle and blast across.

WOW! those are imagery ways to cross the river.

from Eliya

you could get a rope and swing across like Tarzan until you get to the other side.

from Myarr

Swim

Build a raft out of trees and use a branch as an oar

get a giant bird to fly you across.

from Eliya and Isobel

I like that idea. Maybe you could use your harmonica skills to call out to the bird!

I like how you play cross the river in class! It looks like a really cool game!

Sorry, I am Camryn from 3L.

Hi Camryn, thanks for commenting on our blog! Do you have any ideas of how to cross the river? Why don’t you ask your classmates and see what interesting ways you can come up with? We would love to hear them!

Wow Mr. Alderdice, you have a lot of comments on this particular subject!

Get a piraite ship and get the plank out then jump across.

from Orlaith and Michael

All you need to do is get my dad and he is so fat you can float across on him.

From Carla

Chop a tree of and walk across it!

If you can dive you could dive across

I would climb trees and take the long branches off, i would get lots of long grass and weive it around all the long branches to make a long bridge, and float the bridge to the other side to get across.

Hope you enjoyed this : )
See you soon
