Hands on Learning Report

"I have just started in Hands on Learning this term and I think it’s fantastic. The whole group of Hands on Learning is amazing because they are caring and funny. My favourite part of the day is everything, but if I had to choose one thing it would be getting on the tools. 

The lunches are good. My favourite so far was the party pies and sausage rolls. Robbo bought an air fryer last week and it has changed our lunch lives. 

Two weeks ago, we went to Soapy’s Dam to plant trees with Mount Clear College kids and Friends of the Canadian Creek. We planted 160+ trees and plants. Mr Mika came along to help us on the day. 

We have been making garden boxes. We use pallets and break them apart using a pallet breaker. Sometimes this can be difficult because the pallets break, and the timber is no good. From the pallet we measure and from the measurement we cut the timber to size. We screw them together and then we paint them. We are painting them the Woodmans Hill Secondary College colours. 

We get to invite people to lunch every week. Last week Mr Creece came for lunch, he was a little bit late, so we had to wait. We never start to eat until everyone is sitting down. This week for lunch we are having wraps with salad and chicken tenders"
