Technology at Tamaki College

For the past few weeks on Tuesday the Year 8's have been walking down to Tamaki College to go to Technology. Technology is when we are put into 4 different groups such as Art, Hard Materials, Graphics or Cooking. I was put into Hard Materials and we are currently making a souvenir. I have chosen to make a mickey mouse head because my sister's favorite cartoon and I thought that it was fun to make something nice for her. We were first given a document to fill out. We had to choose 4 people to make it for and get 4 different silhouette pictures that was easy for us to draw. We then had to make a final decision on what silhouette we were going to draw and what person. We drew it on a small square shaped piece of wood. when the got the exact same piece of wood and put it together. We that step was completed our Teacher Mr Grundy poured in the pewter. We waited and waited. I am now still going and can't wait to share my finishing piece !
