S3 Book Ends and Phone holders<\/h2>\n

S3 Woodworkers have been making bookends from 18mm pine and 12mm plywood.\u00a0 The project involves a lap joint and dowelling and the pupils have made use of the pyrograph to add detail to their designs.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

These classes also have been making phone holders from 12mm pine and using various tools to add shape to their designs.<\/p>\n

S4 Jewellery boxes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

S4 Woodwork classes have been working on a Jewellery box project as a build up toward the final project next term<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The boxes used Bare-faced housing joints in the corners and the tray had mitre joints in the corners with through housings for the partitions.\u00a0 The average mark so far has been around 65% so well done to all the students!<\/p>\n

S3\/4 tool kits<\/h2>\n

S3 and S4 practical woodwork classes have been working on a french cleat tool storage system for their own tool kits.\u00a0 They each made a chisel rack, sanding clock and Mallet.\u00a0 these were complimented by a wall mountable french cleat .<\/p>\n

1P1 and 1P3 Have been making fridge magnets with Mr Robertson.\u00a0 The Project included producing a folio of work during the recent lockdown and then manufacturing the final design in the school workshop.\u00a0 The Magnets had to be designed to suit as a free promotional item in a new space themed cereal packet. The cover of the folio represents the cereal box.<\/p>\n

Pupils have gone through the design process and found out about freelance designers vs in house designers as well as types of plastic, sustainability and recycling.\u00a0 The finished products are pretty cool!<\/p>\n

Graphic Communication\u00a0Ocean Kinetics Visit\u00a0 28\/3\/19<\/h2>\n

Our Higher Graphic Communication class had an excellent opportunity to visit Ocean Kinetics workshop in Lerwick.<\/p>\n

Pupils designed a phone holder on AutoDesk Inventor and this file was adapted to allow the machinery at the workshop to access it.<\/p>\n

The profiles were cut with a plasma cutter, then the pupils used files to deburr the blanks.\u00a0 These were transferred to the press where they were folded up and the final product was realized.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\"\"\u00a0\"\"\u00a0\"\"\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

We would like to thank Scott Nicolson and all the staff at Ocean Kinetics for the two excellent mornings spent in the workshops.<\/p>\n

S2 Peerie Box\u00a0 08\/03\/19<\/h2>\n

\"\"S2 are currently working on a small wooden trinket box which focuses on building and improving their confidence with woodworking tools and has introduced an element of design. Here we have two recent examples which have taken their design inspiration from a specific target market. This element of the project was pupil lead so that each box produced would be unique to the individual designer and reflected their end users likes, hobbies or interests.<\/p>\n

Bridge Builders\u00a0 05\/03\/19<\/h2>\n

Two S3 teams from the Anderson High School entered the CITB bridge building competition at Shetland College today.\u00a0 Team Anderson 123 won the Most Efficient Bridge prize and “the A-Team” did really well too.\u00a0 Both teams had a great day out and we would really like to thank CITB Shetland and the team at Shetland College for a great experience<\/p>\n
