Tudor Globe Theatre Workshop

Maths is used throughout the construction of the structure. Because we use nothing more than dowel and rubber bands in all of our unique workshops the importance of triangulation in making all other two dimensional shapes strong is key in all the structures we build.

Construction Elements Included, where pupils have to follow instructions together to form the structure, so need to help and guide one another to ensure a successful build. We demonstrate how simple materials can be used to make strong structures

Problem solving and resilience are endemic in all of our workshops, but particularly in the STEAM orientated ones, like Bridge, Maths & Design, Shelters, Skyscrapers, Olympic Sculptures. Pupils Work individually, in groups and altogether to create one large structure, or remaining in groups make their own structure. e.g. bridge, shelter, sculpture. The teamwork and resilience needed helps develop pupils cooperative intelligence.

The world famous Globe Theatre is recreated by pupils, working individually in groups and altogether using nothing more than dowel and rubber bands. They imagine being a 'groudling' watching a play and the rowdiness that was common place during the performances. They learn about the construction of the theatre and the special effects that were used at the time.
