PREP Week 9 - Reflection

 Throughout the trimester Connor and I have been working well together and we have made many Christmas trees and are ready to sell our product. At the moment we just need to plan out how we will set up our stall. We have worked together well because we have taught each other efficient ways to make things easier while working in the woodwork room and have communicated and helped each other well.

We would often have trouble when we were making our trees while we were putting the nail in the driftwood. It would snap too often so we overcame this difficulty by using smaller nails and not putting so much pressure onto the hammer and driftwood.

Mr Venter showed us that using the anvil was useful when hammering the nails and was much easier. This meant that we could get through much more Christmas trees in a day.

Next week we will need our Christmas trees, the wire and the items we will need for our stall.

PREP Week 8 - Reflection

 Week 8 Reflection

Today we have used our time efficiently as we have made multiple Christmas trees today in the wood workroom. Our biggest achievement of today were the new designs we have been using for our Christmas trees. We have also been getting better at making the trees look better and make them faster. Aiden and Jack have been making face masks with pieces of cloth and using sewing machines. I think this is a really cool product design and will sell well on market day. Next week we need to have enough of our product to sell on market day which will be coming up in two weeks so we must be prepared.

PREP Week 7 - Reflection

 Today we have used our time really well and have spent block 1 and 2 in the woodworking room making more Christmas tree ornaments and little Christmas trees. We have started making our market day posters that we will start putting up to advertise our product. Our biggest achievement today has been making all the new trees for our product which we are really proud of. I think Jack, Aiden and Jordan are making a cool product because they are making masks for covid. I think these will sell because they are cool looking and they are also going to be making coasters which will sell well. By next week Connor and I need to have made enough of our product to be able to sell on market day. 

PREP Reflection Week 3

 PREP Reflection

Today we have been working on our timetable and what resources we will need for our product. I will be in charge of getting the driftwood down at the beach and Connor will be getting the wires. Next week we are looking to go into the tech room to start making a start on our design. Today we found it difficult figuring out where we were going to get our driftwood because there are many places. But we have decided we will find the most in town.

Today Connor and I have been planning what we are going to be selling for the Market Day. We have been making logos and we have an idea of what our company name is going to be. Connor and I have been working well together for the last few blocks as a pair. Next week we are hoping to get into the wood tech room to start designing our driftwood Christmas tree ornaments.
