Yr 7-8 Technology Classes

Each Friday Yr 7 & 8 students from St Jospeh's Primary School have been coming to the College for block Technology classes in Food Technology, Soft & Hard Materials and Art.

In Food Technology with Mrs Burton students have been working their way around common kitchen tools and appliances, creating a variety of tasty dishes along the way and heading towards some awesome cookie creations in their final week.

Mr Connachie has been working with his students making wind chimes out of a range of materials including wood, metal and plastics with one piece of polystyrene thrown in for good measure. Students have made a large range of designs with a smurf, puss in boots and even a red T.A.R.D.I.S making an appearance!

The Soft Materials class has been developing ideas for polar fleece hats with Ms Mellor. Students are learning the art of working out full scale patterns before launching into production in time for the cooler Autumn months.

The "fantastic fifteen" in Mrs Plunkett's Art class have been learning the ancient art of ceramics. They have fine tuned a number of different techniques, creating some delightful art works whilst having a lot of fun. They will finish their Art block by making a decorative ceramic tile complete with colour and glaze. Well done everyone. Ka pai koutou mahi.
