Mr Bennet Busy at Work

This is a video of Mr Bennet taking apart a radio control car motor and gear box, so that we can motorise our curtain mechanism.  Thank you Mr Bennet

Paint paint paint!

Well, the primer went we'll, but the colourful paint was next!

We chose the colours red, blue and green.

But after painting we put a couple of layers of varnish over the paint so that it was protected.

It was a big day for us but we had fun!

Prime Coating

Not too long ago, our theatre was plain.

We really wanted to paint our project, but we needed to prime it first.

It isn't as easy as it looks, the priming needed more than one coat!

But finally we finished our priming but the primer was white, and not colourfu.

We had made lots of progress on the project, we really needed to show our clients, Room 14!

Room 14 LOVED the theatre! They would love it if it was finished!

Sanding the Theatre

Today Technology 7 looked at the theatre and the hazards when we noticed splinters.

We started work to sand the theatre to remove the splinter hazard.

We used masks and goggles to protect us from dust flying in our face and breathing it in.

We used sand paper to sand the theatre by hand.

Building the Skeleton

Today Technology 7 have started building the skeleton of the puppet theatre.

We sawed out the sides, front, floor and ceiling.

 

We attached two of the panels together.

Building the Frame

Today the Technology Group were working on the rest of the frame.

We were doing it on a Tuesday and we got split in half.

For the first half, Eric, Slade and Caleb went.  For the second half, Jayden, Neo and Kyle went.

Group 1 went ahead and measured and collected some more wood, then put them together by creating a frame.

For the second half of the day, the front was attached by Group 2 and Mr Jackson.

It was a long day but definitely worth it.
