Practical skills from school!

Davey came home from school full of talk about his Metal Work project. He told me how the teacher's assistant donned welding gear to do the spot welding required on the metal bookshelf Davey had made. Davey liked the humour of the name 'Weldinator' written across the top of his welding mask, and he talked about enjoying the skills he's gaining with workshop tools. As a sole parent it makes me feel good to know he's gaining blokey skills at school.

The photos below show that's not the only type of skills he's learning at school. Davey saw some cuffs on sale at local markets and figured his term of sewing (where all students make a zippered pencil case with lining and appliqued patterns) had given him the necessary skills to make his own.


I like the well rounded education!

I'm glad to see he's taking the initiative on his own!

It's one of life's small pleasures, for me: seeing something I like and figuring out how to make it myself. I'm delighted to see Davey doing the same. If he keeps it up, it'll bring him a lot of satisfaction all his life.
