creating the structure of a sign for RSS with Primary 3

The pupils showed an interest in using the bandsaw to cut out a variety of arrows which they both took it in turns to have a go at drawing around the outer template. One of the pupil's enjoyed using the electric sand machine to smooth both sides of the wooden arrow and get rid of the access material of a brown layer. The pupil also supported their peer with peer on peer mentoring as they demonstrated what movements you would need to make when using the electric tool such as "you need to move it like a circle". The other pupil, as his peer was using the sand machine, showed an interest in smoothing the edges of the arrows as they thought of their own way to use the sandpaper "look I am going to use two at the same time". As one of the sand paper's fell onto the floor, the pupil said "it is ok I have a spare one". 

At the end of the lesson the pupils each had a go at using a hammer to attach nails to the wooden post sign as they understood it was to keep the arrows from falling off. We asked the pupils for their feedback on what they thought of the sign when it was completed with one saying "it is tall, it is nearly as tall as me" while placing it on the floor as the other pupil said "I like how the arrows face different ways".
