Technicraft at Tamaki College Term 2

 The students get to experience technology in Food, Control, Science and Hard materials at Tamaki College

The groups have rotated and the students get to join a new class. In Food tech the students get to make delicious food and practice their food preparation skills. Dicing, grating, frying and mashing skills on display when you enter. Working with food safely is a valuable skill everyone will need in their life. And of course the students enjoy their end products. Yum!

In Science, the students have been exploring what science looks like in different aspect. The science behind paper planes and inside a flower using their observation and measurement skills.

For hard materials, they are working with wood and using one piece of wood they need to measure and create a product. At the moment they are working on housing joints to secure their creations.

In control, they understand file and folder management on their chromebooks and are now looking at electrical components so far they have looked at resistor colour coding.

How we made it was, we put the noodles into the pot and filled it with water. We then boiled it until soft. After that we had to get the chicken and shred the chicken up. We also had to cut the carrots into finger size and slice the cucumbers thinly.

Technicraft 2020 Woodwork by Madisyn

On Wednesday we started tech. I was in Mr Grundy's class, woodwork. We are making necklaces.

First we had to pick four people to make the necklace for. We had to pick four silhouette pictures for each person about, what they do, what they like to do, or what will suit them as a person.

The four people I picked to do the necklace for is my brother, sister, my mum, and me. I've finished the silhouette pictures for each person and all I have to do now is pick a person to do it for.

I picked my brother. He loves basketball so I chose this one.
