Adryan and Stanley's Project

Buenas tardes,

Stanley, Reece, Jordan, Josh and I have been working in the Hard Materials room every Thursday with Mr Fowler.

We have been making puzzles out of thin pieces of wood using a band saw to cut patterns, and we’ve made wooden boxes to keep the puzzles in. We painted the boxes with 3 colours, and then when the paint dried, we had to write ‘The Gardens School’, our name, and draw the design of the puzzle on the box.

We made the puzzles especially for the New Entrants.

Our group all had a turn cutting pieces of long, thin wood to make lids for the boxes. It was quite difficult – Jordan cut the table!!! It happened because he wasn’t watching what he was doing. We all had a little laugh.

Mr Fowler taught us lots of skills:

- using safety equipment to protect our eyes and ears – we wore safety glasses and ear muffs;

- how to use the equipment and how it should be treated

We all liked working with Mr Fowler because he is cool. We all respect him, and he respects us.

We want to thank Mr Fowler for working with us.
