Soft Materials

This bag was made by Maison

This week Room 26 has been doing our technology rotation. Some of us have been in soft materials making waterproof cases such as phone bags, boot bags and pencil cases. Miss Young was our teacher she taught us skills like threading, using the sewing machine and using tailor’s chalk. The attributes of our cases were velcro, webbing for the strap and bright coloured fabric. Room 26 really enjoyed our technology and can’t wait to do it again next year. What did you learn during technology block?

Hard Materials

This week Room 26 has been doing our technology rotations, we have been doing soft materials and hard materials. I was in the hard materials group, in our lessons we learn’t about the process of making anything with wood. We made photo frames using scroll saws, drill presses and paint.

I loved technology and can’t wait to do it again next year. What made your photo frame unique and special?

Journeying the Obstacle Course

Drip..drip I was sweating and the bright sun was beaming on this beautiful Tuesday afternoon  and i was ready to go like a spotty Cheetah that has just seen it’s juicy prey.

Here we are finally at Waimarino for a class trip.

GO! I sped across the first part of the tricky Obstacle course the pressure is on!

I was focused.

Eyes on the tunnel.

Suddenly I felt wet gooey bird poo on my hand as i crawled through the end of the tunnel.

I steadily but quickly balanced along the big thick wooden beam , but at the same dreading that I would fall off.

I can see the end “ I’m nearly there!”

Just as I reached the end my leg tripped on the rope swing, but I get up and carry on faster and faster I climb across.

What a relief I have finished this sophisticated playground is completed, with my legs still shaking , I found that my time was only 2:00 minutes what a remarkable time!

As I finish celebrating my success I get ready to go again, maybe next time I will get an even better time.
