The Blind Men and the Elephant Six blind men who stood by the roadside every day and asked for money from the people who passed. They had often heard of elephants, but they had never seen one. How could they? They were blind.

It so happened one morning that an elephant was driven down the road where they stood. When they were told that the great beast was before them, they asked the driver to let him stop so that they might see him.

Of course they could not see him with their eyes, but they thought that by touching him they could learn just what kind of animal he was.

The first one happened to put his hand on the elephant's side. “Well, well!” he said, “Now I know all about this beast. He is exactly like a wall.”

The second felt only of the elephant's tusk. “My brother,” he said, “You are mistaken. He is not at all like a wall. He is round and smooth and sharp. He is more like a spear than anything else.”

The third happened to take hold of the elephant's trunk. “Both of you are wrong,” he said. “Anybody who knows anything can see that this elephant is like a snake.”

The fourth reached out his arms and grasped one of the elephant's legs. “Oh, how blind you are,” he said. “It is very plain to me that he is round and tall like a tree.”

The fifth was a very tall man, and he chanced to take hold of the elephant's ear. “The blindest man ought to know that this beast is not like any of the things that you name,” he said. “He is exactly like a huge fan.”

It took the sixth blind man some time before he could find the elephant at all. At last he seized the animal's tail. “Oh foolish fellows,” he cried, “you surely have lost your senses. This elephant is not like a wall or a spear or a snake or a tree, nor is he like a fan. But any man with any sense can see that he is exactly like a rope.”

Then the elephant moved on, and the six blind men sat by the roadside all day and quarreled about him. Each believed that he knew just how the animal looked, and each called the others unkind names because they did not agree with each other.

People who have eyes sometimes act as foolishly.

Perfect Olympic Stadium Design

The Tokyo Summer Olympics continues into its second week. Watch some

Olympic sporting events on TV and pay particular attention to the Olympic

stadiums that host these events. Can you design and build a model of the

perfect stadium for the next Summer Olympics?

Instructions:

1) Think about what sports need to use your

stadium.

2) Make a list of the key features of a ‘perfect’

stadium (on the next page in your booklet).

What will it include?

3) Draw a plan for your stadium on a spare

piece of paper and remember to label the

equipment you would like to use in your

Olympic Stadium Model.

4) Using any recyclable materials or craft

materials that you have at home, make a

model of your stadium. Materials you may

like to use include paper, foil, toilet rolls,

carboard, sticky tape, string, modelling clay

and scissors.

Project of the WeekYear 3

STEM Challenge

Share a picture of your final stadium plan and model with your teacher on

Seesaw. You may even like to record a video of yourself providing a tour of

your Perfect Olympic Stadium model.
