Cretaceous Period: Tyrannosaurus Rex

We all feel different things at different times - and this week a lot of people are remembering that it’s ok to feel different things.. because it’s Mental Health Awareness Week.

Mental Health is about the way we feel inside, and it’s something that it’s ok to talk about with people you know well, like a teacher or member of your family...

Because this is important, we’ve teamed up with a radio station for grown-ups called Absolute Radio and together, we’ve made a special story that grown-ups and children can listen to together, to help make it easier to talk about how we feel. Hear Jason Manford tell the story of Jessica and Nathan in Volcanoes And Rulers at ten to seven tonight on Fun Kids.

We're looking at five remarkable super structures: the Statue of Unity in India, the Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge and the Great Wall of China, the Emily Moor Transmitting Tower, the Icon of the Seas cruise ship, and the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, emphasising the engineering marvels behind these giants!

Becky and Lloydie delve into the challenges and innovations involved in constructing the Burj Khalifa, such as its design inspired by the Hymenocallis flower, its wind resistance, and its sustainable features like solar panels and irrigation systems that utilise air conditioning condensation.

The episode also features an interview with a senior structural engineer, who shares insights into her career and highlights some of the most interesting projects she has worked on, including a floating swimming pool and a 33-story building!
