Four weeks ago, we began technicraft at Pakuranga Intermediate school. We were greeted by Mr Nair, the teacher in charge of Materials Technology.
“Come in and find a seat and sit”, Mr Nair said. He had a fun activity ready and planned for us. I was so excited so I quickly changed my shoes and sat at a desk. Mr Nair said that we would be designing our own mini project - it was like a shape collage.
First we had to design or decide what shapes we could use. I chose basic shapes like a circle, hexagon and a flower. Mr Nair then handed out pieces of cardboard for everyone to practice their design on.Before I could finish my, design it was time to go out for morning tea.
Immediately after the morning tea, we completed our designs. I was given a piece of wood to transfer my design to. Fortunately I finished the task just as Mr Nair told us to pack up.
