Sharing my Experience at Technology

Last week in Te Ngahere the year 7’s and 8’s went to technology at Moerewa School. This term the 8’s that are working with Mr. E are continuing to finish our waka. This is how it went first off we measured our wood and created an outline form of a waka, then using power tools we cut the wood out. Once that was complete we then sanded out our waka and after that we glued another piece of wood onto our waka. The other piece of wood is going to be for the bottom of our waka. The next thing we did was used a tool called a plane and used it to carve the actual waka, after that is all completed we then move on to the next step which is sanding it all down. Something I learnt was that the front side of a boat is called a bow and the back is called a stern. The challenging part for me was trying to cut the waka inside of the line when using the powertool. The part that was easy for me was glueing it to the other piece of wood. Does your school do Technology? I hope you enjoyed. Ka kite !
