Tech Classes - Hard Materials

Last term in tech I did hard materials with Mr. Swain. He taught us how to sand, use the big drill,poker work burner,a power drill and lots of other tools.He also taught us how to make lots of stuff like, chopping boards, boxes, kitchen thingees and lots of other handy things.Near the end of the term he gave us free time to make anything we wanted unless it wasn’t a weapon. Kameran and I made a windkart but other people made tanks and trucks and lots of other things. Mr. Swain wouldn’t let you pass until it was smooth and had no pencil marks. So that's hard materials for you.

What I did for tech was wood work. I enjoyed my last time at wood work very much. The wooden spoon we made was very useful for my mum in the kitchen. I enjoyed making the pull along toy duck the most though. Wood work is great for making gifts for your whole family. Mr Swain is a great, funny and cool teacher. I will miss him and wood work at BIS very much.

Responsibility - Term 2 Virtue Focus

Responsibility is when you can manage yourself, time and your actions. To be responsible you have to have good manners and a good attitude and be on time. You have to get all your work that has been assigned done and handed in on time. Being responsible is taking care of your thing, peers and yourself.
