Use in the real world...

I didn't realize how much I soaked in until last week when I was working with my dad on his car, there was a problem with the cams in the motor. We both had a long conversation on cam and other mechanisms in the car. It was really cool. Dad thought that it was really good that I knew that kind of stuff. He is very happy now that I can sort out some of the kinks in his car.

Almost end of term..

Well the term is almost over but there is still a few bits to do. I have to assemble my toy today and then I can finalize the last sections of my assignment. Since I won't be at school for the first two weeks I aim to finish the written assignment before the end of the week so I can hand it in "on time". I have finalized my toys pieces, the base is 200mm X 90mm X 90mm and it is fully painted, the birds are a nice white colour with a tinge of pink, the fountain was constructed using air dry clay and it looks super cool.

Mr waddy seems to be happy with everyones progress although Fliss is really behind, maybe she shouldn't get so sick so often. Everyone is very independent and moving along. I can't wait to finish this and start the next unit.

Back again, it's almost time...

Hello again. It's been a while since wrote but good news!

I've almost finished my toy. Last week I completed making my birds and bird bath for my toy. Today I sanded everything up so tomorrow I can start painting. On Thursday I can then put my toy together and watch it in action. Mr ward was really helpful in making the birds for my toy. I've been working very independently, which I like. There aren't many distractions and I can focus clearly on what I am doing. Design is such a relaxing subject, it makes me feel better if I have had a bad day. I know that sound weird but it is true...

If I finish my project this week I can complete the final section of my assignment before the holidays so it's ready to go next term.

Anyways got to go,
