2:46 pm on the 15th of September, 2006Only a few classes today, I started off a covered 1st year class then went into the 3rd year class I was suppsed to be taking - next time I have them for wood work I’ll begin to take them through a dovetail joint.
Two 4th year classes were doing folio work in the library so no real teaching there, just prodding towards them actually doing some work.
Last was the 5th years who I showed how to start a stopped housing joint.
In the last period of the day I was roped in to helping another covered class. There was myself, the covering teacher and another technical teacher in the classroom, with 12 kids on computers, they’d been given the task to find images of boxes so that they could later describe what was good about them and maybe make something like them for their 4th year project. It was hard work, and took about 20 minutes for them to be anything like settled. I can’t imagine what it’s like taking that class on a normal day with just thier usual teacher and nobody else.
