Castle Hill Castle Hill Blog 22/09/23
Welcome to the weekend, I hope that your child has had an enjoyable week here at Castle Hill; it has certainly been a busy one! The spotlight this week will be shining on Construction led by our calm and creative subject lead Mr Walsh. For those of you wondering what wonderful things happen in Construction lessons here is a little taster of how your child will be starting the year:
The year 10s are practicing their sawing skills and getting ready to start their unit 'Manufacture a Product'. Some of the year 11s have started their unit 'Washing a Car Exterior'. The unit looks at following a method to wash a car effectively. Year 12s will be looking at basic joinery and looking at strengths and weaknesses of different joints such as mitre joints, lap joints etc. Finally, Year 13s are starting to brush up on their basic bricklaying skills and creating the stretcher bond pattern to establish how the bricks are laid.
