Horticulture- boots

Year seven and eights go to manual every Tuesday.

This time they took boots to manual and planted some plants in them.

They said they loved getting muddy but hated cleaning up!

They came back with lovely results. These are some of them.

Technology

The year 7 kids had another session in art due to the fact that the horticulture teacher was away again. The year 7 kids made herb garden pots. They first had to get all the air out of the clay by banging it on the table. Next they flattened out the clay and cut out a teardrop shape. After that they used the remaining clay to make a pocket shape and mold it onto the teardrop shape. The final thing was to place newspaper into the pocket and add some decorative patterns to add some finishing touches to the pot. They then put it in to the kiln room.

The Dare Programme

This term Room 1 is participating in the dare programme. It is a programme where we can learn strategies to use that will help us make good choices about drug and alcohol use. Mr Watt has introduced the programme to us and he will be coming regularly to help us. We are learning about what types of drugs there are also about what drugs are legal and what ones aren't. We are going to learn alot from this and it will be very interesting at the same time.
