Year 7 Technology

Year 7 Technology Mandatory students who have been undertaking the ‘Materials Technology’ unit over the term, have been working on their final project for the topic - A wooden storage box!

Students were able to transfer what they had learnt from their ‘door stop’ task into the creation of another product, which utilised the same skills for a different purpose. We learned about the basics of building a simple storage box such as different joining methods when putting timber pieces together, ensuring that our pieces are equally sized, the process of patiently sanding the timber for the smoothest finish etc. 

Besides the basics, some students were even able to extend their knowledge through working with different finishing techniques such as wood burning, laser cutting and using linseed oil to give their box a golden finish.

We are so proud to see how willing these students have been to learn more and more throughout the project and to see them step out of their comfort zones to find something they never thought that they would enjoy! 

Well done Year 7! I am sure you will treasure your storage boxes for years to come!
