Wood Tech-The process

The tools I used:

Steel rule

Tri-square

Mallet

Marking gauge

Wood chisel

Claw hammer

Backed saw

Bench hook

Step 1. I used a paper, pencil and a ruler to make a full size working of my box, so I know that it is possible to create.

Step 2. I used: a ruler, tri-square and a pencil to copy the measurements from my drawing onto the wood.

Step 3. I marked a square line(at 90 degrees) across and vertically using a marking gauge

Step 4. I cut off the first piece of wood using a backed saw and a bench hook.

Step 5. I then marked out the joint on the wood using a marking gauge

Step 6. I then used a backed saw to cut out the line used by a marking gauge.

Step 7. The next thing I did was I used a sharp wood chisel and a mallet to cut out the remaining wood pieces to create the joint.

Step 8. Next thing I did was I added my 140cm piece of wood to my joint and glue it altogether and let it sit for an half an hour.

Word whiz

Today in my class we did a reading activity called word whiz. This activity was easy to do because all you need to do is find the words in the book you don't know and put them in the tables, the book that my friend and I was reading was the boy in the striped pyjamas.

Preventing a Twitter Fail

Today in the middle block we did a punctuation task, this task is about where you have to put the right punctuation at the right place. It was easy to write the punctuation but it was hard when we had to keep changing it until it made sense. 

Collaborative Mystery Solving

Today in the middle block my class and I did a collaborative mystery solving, we had to split up into 2-4 groups. We found this task easy because we could eliminate our suspects by their many alibi's. Though it was easy to find the guilty suspect it was difficult to explain why the others were innocent.

Technology (wood)

I have chosen to make a box to put in jewelry. I think this is the best choice because it can be useful to put anything in it. It will be used for stuff like to put money in or for other stuff. For this project I will have to consider that it will keep my money away from my little sibling.

Cushion reflection

These past few Mondays rm7 and 6 has been going to Tamaki college for technology, I am in the sewing group. I like to do sewing because you can make your own cushion and you can also take it home when you are done. The first five weeks we had to sew on papers going straight before we try it out on the fabric. On week four we got to measure our fabric we then had to cut it and make sure it was the same. In term 2 week 2 we got to sew our fabric. I liked enjoying my time doing sewing because it was my first time sewing.

Beat The Clock

For maths I did a maths activity, it is called Beat The Clock. I found this game really easy because they were divisions and multiplications. In this game there are levels 1-9, the level I did was level 6. If you want to try it out Click here
