Hands on Learning

Term One

Hands on learning has had a busy term one and two so far which resulted with great finished projects that have been outcomes of the each students effort, enthusiasm, team work and love for the hands on tasks.

The students from the Wednesday and Thursday group have successfully finished a number of projects that they are very proud of. The projects that have been completed this year so far include designing their own personal avatar and sorting out the container. The students have sorted out the container by making their own personal bracket that is used to hold all the spare timber as well as designing and building shelves that equipment such as shovels can hang off. 

The Wednesday and Thursday group have both made their own picnic seat with left over timber they found in the container, these turned out fantastic and can be seen outside the hands on learning room. The groups have also built a shadow board each which are almost completed. Most recently the groups are working hard on repairing their billy karts for the big billy kart race against the other hands on learning schools on Wednesday the 22nd.

Hands on learning have been extremely busy over the first half of the year. Brett Phillips the hands on learning teacher is continuing to do a great job at planning, preparing, supporting and teaching each student so that they are aspiring to complete each project and task, with the support from Baseline for young people’s youth worker Jess.
