Tech

Today was another session of tech. Our tech teacher was Mr Naicker. For tech we continued, by filing down the edges. Jack and I started sandpapering our handles to make it feel nice and smooth. I am currently using 2 types of sandpapers to make the edges of my hand base smooth. I have chosen to make a cake cutter, which will be a great thing to make. I have finished making the top of my handle smooth, but I need to work on making the sides of it nice. The year 7's are with Mr Grundy, while the Year 8A is with Ms Ferguson.

Tech with Mr Naicker

Today was another session of Tech at Tamaki College. Our teacher was Mr Naicker. Mr Naicker teaches us how to do Metal Working. At the moment we are still creating our handles for our cake servers/pizza cutters. Most people are still filing, while others are using sand paper to make the edges of the handles smooth and soft. I am currently using sand paper to make the edges of my cake server handle smooth. The year 8A is colouring in fruits, while the year 7's are doing their woodwork designs.

Tech with Mr Naicker



Today was another session of Tech at Tamaki College. Our tech teacher is Mr Naicker. This term Year 8 B is doing metal working, by completing a cake server or a pizza cutter. I decided to make a cake server. Today some students were gluing their projects together, while others were filing theirs to make it smooth. We started off by creating the handles of either our pizza cutter/cake server. The handle is suppose to be smooth and soft. We filed the sides of the handle and the top of the handle. The year 7's are with Mr Grundy doing wood work, while the year 8 A is creating clocks with Ms Ferguson.

Tech with Mr Naicker

LS2 has started their first sessions with their new tech teachers. Our first session was great, as we got into our new groups for tech. It was very new to me, because the year 8's were given 2 groups, which meant that there was year 8 a and b. The year 8 A is with Ms Ferguson and the year 8 B is with Mr Naicker. I am with Mr Naicker, which means that I get to do metal working. For our first session we completed the context of creating a cake server/pizza cutter. We were to say who we'd make it for and why.
