Great Inventions

Great inventions have been created when people have seen a problem and set about trying to solve it. They are also created to make life easier. Think about some great inventions:
* The first aeroplanes
* Electricity
* Early telephones
* Ways to make it over Niagara Falls alive (I'm serious there is a museum in Canada devoted to this).
* Early vehicles
* Clothing (think Antarctica)
* Sporting equipment
* Bicycles
* Bread making techniques
* Keeping time

Your task: Research one type of invention and its history. Write a paragraph about the invention, its inventor(s) and the way it has been developed through time. Add the paragraph to the blog. This is the link to the Collaborative Document. You can add pictures and more information here for your class mates to share. Happy thinking!

A reminder: Don't be a bystander

Building positive relationships is very important. We need to show positive leadership skills by making sure we are not 'BYSTANDERS' when it comes to bullying.  If you see or hear of any name calling, unfair treatment, exclusion from games or pushing and shoving, STAND UP and MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
