DT

Today in DT, my partner and I had a very productive day. The grass arrived from my partner MacKenzie's house which is great so we can start gluing that on our resort which we can then put the huts on top of that. Today we only could shape it but then we decided not to go on and start to colour the mountain greeny brown. We later decided we should mix it with sand as that would make it very rough like mountains should be. As we went to get sand and came back, Shae (another student) had cut her finger with a razor. Therefore Mr Ward told us all to pack up. I helped her as she was a close friend of mine. I HOPE SHE IS OKAY :) But overall it was very productive.

For this past week in Design and Technology, it has been very productive. On monday my partner and I made the waterfall. Although at first we thought it might be hard because the PVA glue doesn't dry fast so it might all just sink to the bottom of the river. However we came up with the idea that instaed of PVA glue and blue paint togethr to make the waterfall. We would use the Hot glue gun and blue paint which would then be poured on the hill and would stick easily. We practiced first on Mr Wards examples of mountains and it worked. Therefore we did it on ours and it turned out to be very successful. On wenesday we finished Task 2 off and now we can spend all our time on our resort.

DT (River)

Friday in Design and Technology was very productive. My partner and I were able to make a PVA and blur paint pretend water so that we could pour it into the river we cut out with the router. To make the pretend water for the river, we had to use PVA glue and pour only a little bit of blue paint into a container. The. We had to stir it with Popsicle sticks and makes it really runny and blue-ish. Then we poured it into the river. After that we left it to dry for the rest of the lesson and started to draw up our scaling for the huts that will eventually go onto the resort for people to stay in. Therefore this lesson was very productive. This is what the pretend water looked like:

DT (Mountain)

Yesterday in Design and Technology was very productive. My partner and I spent the whole lesson plastering with plaster Paris to make our mountain for our resort. It turned out very well. As we shaped it out last lesson with chicken wire and newspaper, therefore all we had to do was plaster it. Therefore we mixed plaster Paris and water which turned out to be very messy in the process but then made mountains for the resorts. This is what it looked like:
