Bruce Mclaren


I have created a story map from the reading tasks on the learning site all of my class has to do it, its about Bruce Mclaren. he raced for his father once, when he was 15 years old. later on in his life he was able to go in his own races. I created it because it was a reading task that the class had to do. I learnt that most super cars came from Bruce and his father in the 1953-1970.

  1. Kia ora Oscar,
    Well done on creating such a fantastic blogpost about Bruce Mclaren!
    You have managed to include some awesome information about the life of Bruce, and I really appreciate all of the drawings you have made to accompany your post!
    By the sounds of it, Bruce Mclaren had a bit of a rough start to his life after being sent to a place for sick children because of Perthes disease. I have never heard of this particular disease before, and was hoping you may be able to share a little bit more information about this.
    What exactly is Perthes disease?
    Is it a life-long disease, or does it go away?
    How did it give Bruce Mclaren a limp?
    It would be awesome if you could reply to this comment and let me know!
    You mentioned in your post how Bruce was test driving some cars and ended up crashing at 60mph.
    Was Bruce alright after this accident?
    You also mentioned how most super cars came from Bruce and his father between 1953 and 1970. What are some examples of these cars?
    Overall, you have done a fantastic job on this blogpost.
    Keep blogging!
    Nga mihi

  2. Hi Oscar, great story map. Did you enjoy reading and learning about a New Zealand super hero? What else did you learn about him
