After lock down when kids came back to school, on Wednesdays Room 4 did Tech and these are sewing, cooking and woodwork. The year sevens which was Jaimee, Duncan, Hayley and myself did woodwork with Peter who was the woodwork teacher. We started making stools and they are about 25cm tall and around 30cm wide. To make our stools it took 9 weeks so that means 9 days. All of the skills we used to make this stool was... sawing, measuring, gluing, staining the wood, sanding and drilling holes. It was a really fun process to go through along beside friends.
Today was our last session in woodwork and next up is cooking with Mrs Bennett.
This is how my magnificent wooden stool turned out...
Kia ora, I am a year 8 student in Room 4 at Matawai School in Gisborne, New Zealand and my teachers are Mrs Bennett and Mrs Allan.

Creating My Own Music
Last week with our cybersmart teacher, Room 4 got introduced to a song website called 'Soundtrap'. First we had to find a picture of either an animal or a sport or something that we like. I finally chose a picture of a running cheetah. When we were making our music it had to match the mood of your picture. It was really confusing at the start for all of us, so we all struggled a bit but also had a lot of fun playing around and making beats. When we had finished our sound we had to fiddle around a little bit so we could add our beats onto the picture. The one main thing that I found challenging during this process would have to be getting the hang of the whole app.
AND HERE'S MY FINAL PRODUCT . . .
