Week 11        7-11th May

1) Carpentry has begun this week. Write about what happened during the first 2 day of carpentry...

When we started Carpentry we were given a few tasks to do. The class could vote for one of three possible tasks. The tasks were 1. Dog Kennels, 2. Wooden children's toys, 3. Shed.  The group chose the children's wooden toys. I chose to make a Wooden Tank. It was quite cool. I painted it black. Also after I had finished making it Jamie donated the toys to a children's hospital.

In terms of health and safety I learned that I needed to wear ear muffs to protect my hearing, wear goggles to protect my eyes, and to make sure long hair was tied back so it wouldn't get caught in the machines.
