Technology / Tracing the shilouette

Today I traced my image which was a cross onto a piece of flat wood. After that I used a machine with a saw to cut out the cross. Then my tech teacher (MR Grundy) had to help me cut out the corners. After that he clamped the two flat pieces of wood together with the coutout in the middle and then slowly poured a metal like substance. 

After waiting five minutes for the metal to cool down I then took it out of it's casing and started sand papering it until it was sharp and straight. Unfortunatly time went by and the bell rang to soon, I didn't have enough time to finish. But after we tidyed up our work space we played a game with matches.

Technology

At tech we wrote a workbook that contained how we'd make our pandants and the plan to do so, also we had to make spicific images to make it. The word for the images was called silhouette. Basically this was an image with an outline and a black filling. The worksheet we worked on was just about what your freinds, family members liked. Also adding a picture of what the do/like.

EG

Ben likes to run around and play games.

You would add in a shoulette picture of a running person and also a gaming thing.

Skeletons

Every Tuesday we go down to technology to learn about science, today we learnt facts about skeletons and bones. Both humans and animals, we also got a look at a fish's skeleton. The facts we learnt today was that the biggest bone in our body is found inside our legs which is called fever. However the smallest bone in our body is found inside our ear that help's us hear. Also when we are born we only have 300 bones, then as we grow we get 206 bones as an adult. The reason because of this is that when we grow, our bones mend with smaller bones that create bigger bones.
