The Bridge by Arthur

It was a lovely day in July, under an old bridge in Avignon, France. Bob was doing some maintenance work underneath the bridge. He saw a small crack had appeared. This crack was in the middle of the bridge. It was large and it was dangerous. Bob told his manager, Brian who ignored this problem. That day 7 large onion lorries were heading for the bridge, Bob was worried, as the heavy lorries went over, the crack got bigger until the last lorry went over and the bridge collapsed, sending all the onions into the river. The driver was ok.

The bridge is like that maybe because half of the bridge is missing. It might of been like that because of its age. Or it may have been destroyed in a war. I think this bridge is very famous because of the place and it is good to look at. 

When maybe the bridge collapsed people used the stone to build houses and prepare others and more because they couldn't afford to rebuild the bridge. If you looked at the bridge from a long distance it would be a good view. If the bridge before it was broke maybe they would like to have a look but most people would be scared.

I can see in this picture a bridge that only goes half way across the water. I can also see beautiful trees, buildings and people walking on the bridge. I see some archways in the bridge, some bricks look like they are missing. There is a road across the water, I see some cars on it. There is a bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds. The beautiful buildings that l see are up on the hill tops. The bridge looks like it was built a very long time ago. The stunning view was spectacular and left me thrilled.

The cool water flows as the cold wind drifts in mid air. There's a bridge that makes people wonder what happened to half of it because it looks like half has been cut off. 

There are many trees/boats and houses near or next to the lake. It looks like the houses are up a slope to me. I think the trees and the bridge are very old because the trees are looking very scruffy and the bridge you can tell because there is only half of the bridge left. I think it is a very beautiful. I love it.

Years ago, an old man was sent to another part of France when he was a little boy. He was told that when he had left he was forbidden to return. The old man was determined that one day he would build a bridge to re-unite the two places. He decided to build Avignon bridge. He could only build it very slowly when he had enough money. He was only half way across when he ran out of money, but people liked it as is was. The bridge was so unusual finishing half way across that they decided to keep it like that.

It all started in 1973 when they first started building the bridge. Over 50,000 people used the bridge every year but 17 years later the bridge collapse, luckily no one got hurt. Two years later they rebuilt the bridge out of bricks made it 2 times wider and put a rail a quarter of the bridge for the pedestrians. 15 years later they closed the bridge because it all collapsed so they rebuilt it once more time, they made it out of cobblestone and put the rails back on it and it lasted till 2009. In 2009 the end of the bridge collapsed.

Dear Mum and Dad,

I've gone to this lovely bridge in France. I went to a show on the bridge and it was amazing.

It was bombed but only half of it got blown up. It was a lovely place to go with the beautiful scenery.

There were big speakers telling us what happened in WW1 about the war and the bridge around here. It was too much money to build the rest of the bridge again so that is why its only half not full.

I went on a boat underneath the arch. we had great fun visiting it.

Long ago there was a beautiful bridge that led from one side of a glistening lake to another. It was made for the queen when the lake dried up in summer. It connected three villages. One was filled with mansions with grand gardens, the second was filled with cottages and vast fields and the third was an ordinary housing estate with village shops and playgrounds. On the day of the grand opening the queen invited her son. He hated the bridge so much that he climbed up into a tree and ordered his guards to destroy it. From that day on he was known as the selfish prince and the villages were always kept apart.

The Lightning crashed the Thunder roared bang crash boom this was a bad storm the waves crashed against the cliffs. Then I heard the flood siren the coast guard ran to me and diverted me to the a safe area but I wanted to see this it would be a once in a lifetime picture so I got out my I phone and ran as fast as I could past the life guard and to the cliff. Then to my amazement a lightning bolt struck the bridge! 

Wow! I did a great picture this is awesome, wow!

This bridge I can see out of my window is a half bridge, also I can see all the houses in the background it is so beautiful. There are a lot of trees they are dark, tall trees. The bridge is so detailed and the river flows slowly and quietly. Tomorrow my mum said we are going to walk over the bridge because I am staying in a hotel in France. You can only see half of the bridge you can see the branches on the trees. I love France. It is so beautiful.

"Build me that bridge!" Said the king.

"Why?" Asked the poor peasants.

"So I can get to the far side! Now get on with it!"

Weeks passed, so did months, and they all thought they were going to die! However, they had reached the middle, and within a year it was completed.

The messenger ran to the king, who was counting his money. "Sir the bridge is done!" He said breathlessly.

"But there is a gigantic storm brewing."

But by the morning the bridge had collapsed and the king never got to see the other side.

Dear Mum,

I am on the short bridge in France while writing this, it's such a scenic view. Tomorrow I am going to the Eiffel Tower to look over the whole of Paris I'm so excited. The only problem about being in France is I miss you so much but I try and keep thinking about something else. I hope you’re having a nice time in England, It's a bit weird being in France because I have to speak French all the time, but after four days I've got used to it. See you soon my lovely mother.

The Bridge by Jessica

The villagers had been arguing for the last ten months, so one side decided to get some builders in to knock down the bridge which joined the two villages together. As they were knocking the bridge down, it fell into the clean, shiny, blue lake and all of the lumpy bricks were never to be seen again. The villagers were separated once and for all. One day a villager went diving and found the broken down bridge but he saw a gold shiny thing so he went a bit deeper. The man saw a treasure chest he used the money to buy a new bridge.
