STRUCTURE BUILDING

Our latest challenge in our Young Engineers topic is bridge building. Our challenge was to build a bridge in 1 hour using A4 and A5 beams, in square based pyramids, to span 80cm and carry a load of 2.5kg. Our results were magnificent.
We also managed to construct a scale model of the Millennium Whell.

King Aegeus

King Aegeus has many problems; the traffic congestion around Athens; wars draining his resources; but worst of all- the demands of mad,old King Minos of Crete for seven young men and seven young women to sacrifice to his 'bull-headed' son; the Minotaur.

King Aegeus with his Councillors

The King wrestles with the problem of how to deal with the Minotaur.What advice can his Councillors give? Perhaps his son, the brave Prince Theseus, could help out.

Theseus and his admirers

Prince Theseus reluctantly tears himself away from his adoring fans.There's a job to be done; go to Crete posing as one of the sacrificial victims and kill the Minotaur!

Ariadne and her ladies-in-waiting

Theseus arrives on the island of Crete. Princess Ariadne hears about what a fine looking chap he is!

Ariadne meets Prince Theseus

Ariadne is taken in by Theseus's undeniable charm and offers to help him defeat the Minotaur.

Enter the Minotaur

A lean, mean, fighting machine!

Round 1

Theseus soon makes mince-meat out of the Minotaur.

The Bull bullied.

And the winner is Prince Theseus; the Minotaur hadn't reckoned on Theseus using a sword!

Theseus and Ariadne

Mission completed; the resourceful Prince Theseus elopes with Princess Ariadne. Next stop; the island of Naxos.But things didn't quite work out as Ariadne anticipated. Why not read the story for yourself.

The Story Tellers

And last but not least; our two storytellers linked each part of the narrative.
