Term 4, Week 12




Well, into the final term and the last 6 weeks of the Polytech year. Lots of creativity happening this week, starting with marshmallow towers:

 
 


Then ceramics on Wednesday in P block, with Rob Cloughley. We learned how to do sand castings made from plaster - these turned out really well. The project was called 'A Handy Thing' because we cast our hands;
 
Sinea making plaster
 
 and had a go at using the pottery wheel, with mixed success, I think it is something that takes quite a bit of practice!

Week 5 13-17 Aug






Ozone cafe is being taken over! Svend has the Trades students in charge of the cafe and they are doing a splendid job. A roster has been produced, eclairs have been made to sell next week (frozen in the meantime), beautiful and expertly laminated signs have gone up all around Polytech advertising the opening of the cafe. Hopefully the students will have a good chance to put their barista skills to use :)
