It’s been a busy term in woodwork and some projects are still a work in progress.

Class One students have learnt all about sanding by firstly making their decorative sticks (almost finished!) and most importantly getting their knitting needles ready for handcraft.

Class Two have made fairy doors and are currently making animal figures and tools.

Class Three have been both completing projects that were started last year and making scale models of the chook house to be built later this year. 

Class Four have finished their decorative panels for the bike shelter (the frame for which the Class Sevens are making).  Can’t show you photos of the panels – they will be unveiled when put up as the bike shelter’s southern wall.  Class Four have also made Viking Lucets which were used to make cord.

Class Five and Six and have made a range of boxes for recycling all sorts of things as part of the school’s move to be officially a waste wise school.  They have now moved on to making mallets and picture frames.

Class Seven have been put to work all term on projects to benefit both the woodwork shed and the bike shelter.  Sawing aids have been made and repaired.  The sports box has been repaired.  Timber for the bracing of the bike shelter has been harvested (thanks Carl for the chain sawing).  This timber has been prepared for fixing, and with Wade’s help, will be put up by the end of the term.  Also, as I mentioned earlier, the frame for the decorative panels that this year’s Class Fours started last year is also being made.
