DT work with Year 7A

• The pupils showed an interest in using the tools and natural resources to make a stall and chair. The pupils worked together well in two pairs to cut the wood for the legs as they used saws and power machines and then used the sand paper to smooth the edges of the wood. 
• The pupils enjoyed using the tools with support or independently to attach the wooden legs and seat for their stall and chair together as one of the pupils said "you need to point the saw down as you cut". The pupil explained that they had done it before saying "I made bird houses while I was at Wood Camp".
• The pupils said they would need "four legs" as it would "help the stall to stand up". As they were building one of the pairs made two of the legs. One of the pupil's took the role of telling their peer what they needed to do next "we need to smooth the seat and cut two more legs".
