Building Medieval Weapons

The children are continuing with their project work some more diligently than others. For some, individual projects have given way to jointly working together, which creates a wonderful flow of energy.

Michelangelo is researching Medieval Weaponry. This is very reminiscent for us as quite a few years back Carpenter was into making all sorts of weapons, although I do think time has honed skills.


Michelangelo is planning on making miniature replicas of various weapons. His first item is the catapult.


The spring mechanism of rubber bands produced a surprising spring.


Carpenter made a slightly different model of the catapult.
