Today was a day full of energy and rich learning! (Is that why I feel so exhausted?)<\/p>\n
We were very fortunate to have Mr. McKillop, the district’s ADST teacher, come to our classroom for the full day to teach us how to make treasure chests out of wood. Apart from the many practical woodworking skills we learned, this also helped us understand that all skills are developed through practice, effort, and action. It was hard work, but I saw a lot of proud faces at the end of the day!<\/p>\n
Students started by carefully measuring the pieces we needed to cut. This required using a ruler and a square. The advice was to measure twice and cut once! That did not stop a few pieces from ending up in the scrap pile…<\/p>\n
