Wood work

Wood Work

For this last term the year 7s at Matawai school have being working in wood work.

Peter has been our wood work teacher, he has shared alot of tricks, tips, and knowlage with us.

For the last 9 weeks we have being making stools.

Some of the hardest parts were making sure that your measurements are perfect, and your cuts are straight. Today we completed our stools, and oiled the timber. I am going to use my stool for a mini book shelf in my room.

Today for tech we had our principle (Mr Knight) because our tech teacher was sick. 

Our focus was on team work, and we had to mix the groups up.

One challenge for me was to follow the instructions, E.G it took me about 20 minutes to make a really cool battle bot...But there was a problem, I forgot to put the motors and the gears in.

Our aim was to have a game of football, with the bots when we were finished. Sadly we didn't finish, but we will get a chance.
