Year 9: Wood and Plastics

Year 9 students, Tinese and Calandra, report on their semester with Year 9 Wood and Plastics.

In Wood Tech this semester, we have decided to create our own design of a flowerpot. During this time,  we have enjoyed making this and learning new skills. We had to use different tools in order to create this product. We learnt how to use the biscuit cutter to join to pieces of wood, at first we were nervous to use this tool but now we are very confident in using this tool. We also did not have a lot of experience in using the plane in the past and now we are experts and able to plane a piece of wood in minimum time. Overall, we enjoyed working in class and learning new skills and having to overcome difficult situations.
