Andrew came to fix our trusty little kindy boat that needed holes repaired.
Power tools, hammers, and saws in hand he set to work with many very willing helpers and his special wee apprentice Ella.
Step 1. Take off the damaged panels, front and back of the boat. Claw of the hammer under the wood and carefully pull up.
Step 2. Place the new panels on the frame. Oops! They don’t quite fit. Now for the exciting part. Andrew gets out the power tools and safety ear muffs. (They were a great hit) Now Andrew sands and cuts the panels. We all had to stand back a bit to keep ourselves safe. WOW it was noisy.
Steps 3. Drilling and screwing in the nails and screws. Everyone got a turn to do this. Lots of turning, screwing and hammering and everyone got a turn with the ear muffs.
The children watched very carefully as Andrew repaired our boat. The carpentary table was moved over to where we were working and lots of hammering and trying out the things Andrew showed the children.
Thank you for coming to Kindy Andrew the children really enjoyed watching and working with you and being involved in purposeful tool work.
Our carpentry table has been very popular since and we had to add ear muffs and safety glasses to our tool list when we purchased new equipment.
