Specialist: Making our designs; Part 4

This week we have been finishing our furniture


it has been a week of tightening up nuts- in awkward places


lots of nuts


even more..


still tightening..


using our wrenches


making sure all is tight and safe...


finally adding the bottom tyres.. 
still measuring to make sure they line up and are easy to fit together


then they are ready to put in place..


with all the others (junior school)


for now the rest stay safe outside the classrooms in the senior school


until we have time, next term, to place them in pods


we are very proud of our achievements


and are happy to try them out


very comfortable


our bench..


is finished


now the rest of the school are using it


our younger students all love them


they are very happy


relaxing..


out of the rain


our Year 5/6's trying it out


more seats for the juniors..


keeping our parents/community out of the rain- 

Feedback...so far...
what an awesome idea for our students to be part of (parent)
our students run, as soon as the bell goes, to get a seat in the junior school (learning assistant)
as soon as one gets up, another is sitting on the seat (teacher)
these would look great on my deck (many staff)
where are the seats for outside my classroom? (teacher)
can I have more outside my room? (teacher)

Some feedback from the students who made the furniture..


I loved this term in tech because I got to make furniture, researching, planning and designing. thank you Mrs Woof for this opportunity

I have toughened my inner strength and also put in some math in learning. I have learnt how to handle hard materials and also the tools.

I very much enjoyed this term because I have experienced what its like to actually design and make furniture with fellow classmates. It was a very fun thing to do. Thank you Mrs Woof.

Yes I enjoyed this term-working together with my friends, cooperating as a team and including others.

I enjoyed making our tyre seat. Also doing hard materials and learning about the right tools to use.This term was amazing.
