Workshop lesson with Mr Ward

So in today's lesson Mr Ward took us through the workshop and showed us many things including:

- the type of plastic we are using and some facts about it (thermoplastic) 

- how to bend the plastic on the strip heater, including bending it on different angles 

- how to put the plastic in the oven to heat the whole thing up, making it floppy 

- techniques to glueing the plastic and how to use the glue 

- the different colours of plastic which are downstairs 

- the buffer and how we should always tie our hair up 

- some of the other classes designs and how they made them with cardboard 

- how to use the cutting board and whether it's better to use a Stanley knife or scissors. 

I learnt a lot in this lesson and am thankful that Mr Ward took the time to teach us these many things.
