Last night the BBC showed a very interesting programme:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b011dcb2/Richard_Hammonds_Engineering_Connections_Series_3_Formula_1/
The BBC make some very good educational products, often in association with the Open University.
This programme featured Team Lotus. Showing F1 applications and their engineering connections.
I have updated my childrens story. It needs an illustrator that can do it justice. Heres the latest version:
The Sensei, a wise and learned woman, addresses her superhero pupils
Superheroes! Are we ready for an adventure?
Yes Mam!
Whitey is lost in the jungle of ice cream cones and chocolate. We must save him!
(Young superheroes sometimes get lost in the forest of ice cream cones on purpose.)
On planet marzipan children had to be very careful not to wander into chocolate lakes, fizzy drink fountains, and most dangerous of all the ice cream cone forest!
This was a dangerous mission… Even the sensei really liked the ice cream and chocolate forest. When she was younger, she too, had got lost in the forest many times.
However, if they wanted Whitey to keep his superpowers they needed to save him and soon.
After 5 days in the forest most superheroes lost their ability to jump large logs and things.
After 10 days they could hardly walk, and their bottoms started to make loud noises!
Each superhero was special. Some could break ice cream cones with one blow.
Others could turn chocolate into broccoli… which is really healthy, and very good for superheroes.
Whitey was only learning to become a superhero and didn’t understand how dangerous the forest of ice cream cones and chocolate could be.
He sat on a chocolate log and ate all the ice cream he could!
Whitey was making the chocolate log creak and his bottom was making funny noises.
Outside the forest Whitey’s superhero family prepared to save him.
Once inside the forest the superheroes had to be focused.
They had to save Whitey from the forest. Luckily the sensei had magic powers.
Sensei would dress Whitey's sisters as princesses.
She could magically turn Whitey into a frog.
Frogs hate chocolate and ice cream.
Frogs love princesses!
So that’s what they did. Whitey croaked for joy when he saw them.
Once out of the forest Whitey was kissed by the sensei and returned to his old self.
“And what” asked the Sensei “have we learned from this?”
“Planet marzipan can be a dangerous place for superheroes.” Replied Whitey “but it’s a very safe place for frogs though!”
The Sensei laughed as only Mummies can. “Moderation in all things, is a lesson we must all learn” she said kindly.
They hugged again. "Time for bed" said Sensei.
