School: Year 7 Technology - Wood and Metal

Kayleigh stopped doing Band and picked up Design Technology: Wood & Metal in second semester with Mr Barkley. This class was Kayleighs favourite and all the help she gave her dad over the years really helped.

For the wood component of the class, Kayleigh made a pencil box - and even her dad was impressed by the finished product - the corners were flush and the finish was impeccable. For the metal component she made a pen holder which she gave to her granddad. For the plastics component Kayleigh made a mobile phone holder with a picture of Tweety bird in plastic on it - it was quite cute and she used it to hold her mobile while it was charging.

Kayleigh chose to do wood and metal work in Year 8 because she loved it. For year 7 she got an 'A' and her report from Mr Barkley read ' Kayleigh demonstrated outstanding achievement of the knowledge , skills and understandings expected. Her conscientious application to all aspects of this subject is reflected in excellent results. Kayleigh is an enthusiastic and confident student who has demonstrated a high level of understanding this semester.'
