Grade 7, 8 and 9 have been hard at work in the workshop whilst grade 10 have been focusing on their specifications for their products.
Grade 7s bird products are taking shape. We have a mix of houses, feeders and resting places using a range of materials ranging from perspex, wood, and rope. They have learnt the valuable lesson of measuring twice , cut once! While not perfect we are aiming for functional products which we will put around the school campus.Grade 8 have completed theirs pavers. The unit ‘ATL’ was centered on metaphors and students have expressed a metaphor for who they are on their pavers. Practically, the next step will be to create a pathway from LC2 to the workshop. In class we begun to evaluate the pavers, to see how successful they have been turning theirs ideas into reality.Grade 9s are mostly complete with their prototype product. We have a range of products from a goat watering bottle, to art paint brush holder, woodwork table to a music mallet holder. it just requires some last minute finishing and we look forward to seeing them being used in school.Grade 10s have completed their specifications, developed their ideas and are now working on the final planning diagrams.
