making a chair with Primary 1

The pupils showed an interest in making their own Primary 1 chair out of natural resources such as wood and using the different tools of a drill, saw and pliers. The pupils talked about what equipment they would need to use to make their chair for example; sand paper, nails, hammer etc, as one pupil took on the job to write the resources down on the whiteboard. The pupils worked together in a group to help one another hold the pieces of wood as another had a go at cutting the wood into "four legs". As we were counting how many screws they would need, the pupils picked up two screws and said they would need "two more" to make four.
