Making our clocks and Keyrings

Making our clocks and keyrings was great fun. I really liked being in the workshop and seeing my idea come to life.

I enjoyed making the clock the best because everyone’s was different in shape and colour. Everyone’s clock is really good and evryone worked well making it.

softwood and hardwood

Softwood trees are my favourite type of trees. Softwood’s are mainly long and thin trunks but are not always. An example for softwood is scotish pine. Hardwood tress are better wood for the likes of building a door or a house like they do in Scandinavia. An example of a hardwood tree is a horse chesnut tree which is a famous type of tree. Why. Because that’s where conkers come from.

If you’ve got this far but can’t remember how to write a post click here for some easy tutorials (if you can’t see it on your computer at home - you can use a computer in the library).

If you want to try anything more adventurous like putting in a picture or link then go here as well! But we will look at these things in class later on.


Clock

In Tech we have designed and personlised our own clocks. We made them in the woodwork classroom and it was really fun. They look really cool and funky.

Tech in my year is very interesting as we make alot of things in the workshop. I also enjoy planning what i make because i think it is great to think of many ideas for your solution. Tech is my favourite subject and i have fun when in class. I like my classmates and enjoy tech alot.
