DT - Workshop It has been a really hands on experience for students in Years 7 and 8. They have been getting used to using all the hand tools and machines to create different projects, developing their confidence and skill at the same time. Year 7 have been creating candle holders to take home using recycled woods and acrylics. Year 8s attention has been focussed on developing pinball style games, experimenting with mechanisms and other game elements. Friday, after school is the time set aside for after school activities in the workshop, my group of students have been creating decorative products and bookends using handmade wood joints. This project will be finished before Christmas and we will be starting a new one in January, all are welcome to come along 2.40pm – 4.00pm. Creative Arts ‘Oh What a Lovely War’ On November 13th and 14th students performed to St Marks School and members of the public – family, friends and teachers. After months of hard work, students presented a moving and funny performance as part of the school’s celebrations of the centenary of Armistice Day. Mrs Freeman and the Creative Arts & DT Department are extremely proud of all their hard work and commitment, proving once again how talented the students at Regents Park Community College are.
