Back to Tech

Today we went back to Tech, we had gotten split up into groups during the morning, there were 4 groups I’m assuming and I was in the group 8A my group were doing Text Tiles which is in other words Text Tiles also means sewing. When we got on the bus we headed our way to Tamaki College which is where our Tech takes place, we got out of the bus then formed into our groups and headed to our classes. As soon as we got into the class we all sat down then our teacher handed all of us a book a pencil and a rubber on the front of the page it had name and school.  I wrote my school and my name then we turned the page it said we could design a bag for someone but on the page it said Person 1 to 4 and we had to write the four special people we were going to make the bag for out of the 4 people. So then I wrote my Mum, Dad, Myself and my friend who was suprisingly sitting next to me in class. After our Tech teacher announced that we have to do sewing exercises I’m not sure about how much paper excersices we had to use the sewing machine because the sewing machine had a cover so I uncovered it and put it on the back of my chair and then our teacher started to go through on how to use the sewing machine, it was fun because we got to learn about so much of the parts on and in the machine. While I was doing my excersices we had to follow along the line on the paper so it could make a masterpiece when you look at the back it would be just little dots on the back that made lines to create a masterpiece. After that we had to pack up and turn the sewing machine off and put the cover back on, then we had to place our books in plastic bags and seal them up so that they wouldn’t fall off. As a result we had to put them in the box until we come back till next week. This experience was something fun to come back to I loved this experience and I cant wait for other Year 7’s and 8’s to have this experience I hope they would love this. Here is some pictures of my class at Tech
