I remember, not to long ago, I was starring up, the railway was endless. A bright light guiding me on my journey. Mud sploshing and squishing under my shoe. Kauri wood lying like stepping stones for us to skip across the mud. Trees curving like a tunnel. Walking up the track a cold breeze chills the trees. Metal tracks lying, scattered along the track. Making it to the other end, following a path of grass, continuing my neverending adventure.

Dentist dramatic monolouge
Waiting nervously for my name to be called. "Ashleigh Rothery "the dentist ordered. After he demanded " Room 4". Slowly approaching the room. I lunged into the soft blue foam, as he lowered the chair. Putting everything in line suddenly powers through my mouth examining teeth. While he staggers through, he pulls different tools off the tray, then he started picking at my teeth. Then, a river of water rinsing my mouth. A gust of wind dries my mouth clean. Now, he put hard tubes of cotton between my teeth. Passing me sunglasses I automatically put them on, as they exited the room for the X-rays, I started to freak out. He showed the X-rays to Mum. Afterwards, he put a banana tasting gel on my teeth to protect (what he fixed). Then, I knew it was over.

Spaghetti Bridge Explanation
We designed this structure in tinkercad
We have triangles because they are the strongest shape.
We used pillars because they hold the weight that is travelling on the deck and holds the structure together.
We choose the anchor at the bottom of the pillars because it would make it stable.

Bridge loads
Dead Load:
The weight of the structure itself is called a dead load. Anything permanently attached to the structure is part of a dead load including the columns, beams, nuts and bolts
Live Load:
The weight of the stuff on the structure is called the live load. Things that move in or on a structure, like people, cars are
all examples of a live load.
Settlement Load:
When the soil beneath settles unevenly, it is called the settlement load. Structures will sink and change shape when they experience settlement load.
Thermal Load:When a structure expands
or shrinks with the temperature, it is experiencing thermal load. The temperature causes beams and columns to change the shape and push and pull on other parts of the structure.
Earthquake Load:
When the ground beneath a structure jerks back and forth during a n earthquake, it is called an earthquake load. Earthquake loads push and pull horizontally on a structure.
Dynamic load:
Loads that change shape over time are called a dynamic load. Dynamic loads from wind gusts to pounding objects create vibration that can become bigger and more dangerous over time.
