Woodwork Class
In todays woodwork class, youll be building a pencil case. I have given you all instructions to follow. Up the front here are the wood and tools, so when youre ready, lets get started!
*All the kids rush up the front and frantically gather all the tools and supplies they need, before heading back to their bench*
It looks like youve made a good start here Steven.
Price: Thanks. I made one of these a few years ago, it was really easy. Wayne showed me how it was done.
Speaking of Wayne, how are you doing there?
Bennett: I forgot.
Forgot what?
Bennett: How to build this thing. I know theres wood involved and some other stuff. It was all so clear to me before class started, but now
I just dont know
Where are the instructions I gave you?
Bennett: I just dont know.
Smith: Why dont you get your fatty friend to buy you some new instructions?
Brian, thats not very nice. Now lets have a look at your progress.
Smith: Ive finished! See, it flies really well too!
Brian, you are supposed to make a pencil case, not a paper aeroplane!
Smith: Ohhhhh! I was wondering why everyone else was doing it wrong.
Focus Brian. Now, whats all this fuss over here?
Hasler: Nothing
McLennan: BULL! You stole my stuff!
Hasler: No I didnt.
McLennan: Well someone did, and youre the only one whos finished already!
I must say Des, that is a magnificent pencil case youve made there, easily the best Ive ever seen.
Hasler: No it isnt. Craigs is better
Bellamy: No way!
Bennett: Dessies is easily the best. Teachers pet!
Okay boys thatll do, now how is
*interrupted by a loud outburst*
Kearney: I cant do this, its too hard! Im going home! *storms out crying*
Oh dear, what dramatics! Now whats going on here, why havent you boys started building yet? Geoff?
Toovey: My mum says Im not allowed to use the saw, but my dad says if I dont Ill be a sissy.
Ill have a word with your parents. Now Neil, what are you doing? Why arent you building?
Henry: Im just cleaning up these bits of wood so that they match the other pieces. This one gave me a splinter, this other one had a crack in it, and this one was just old and needed cleaning.
Okay, but dont waste too much time doing that. Now Ivan, why are you eating?
Cleary: I swapped my wood with Shane in exchange for his sandwich.
How are you going to make a pencil case with a half-eaten sandwich?
Cleary: Oh
err
um
I didnt think about that.
And John, where are all your supplies and tools?
Cartwright: I couldnt get any.
Why not? Theres plenty there.
Cartwright: Daddy said he cant afford it.
Oh I see. And Anthony, you havent made a start yet either, what are you doing?
Griffin: *speaking to himself while looking under the bench*
it was here last class
Anthony!
Griffin: Sorry! Ive lost my hammer. I had it here last lesson. I cant nail it all together without it.
Furner: Oh Fiddlesticks!
Whats the matter David?
Furner: Ive accidentally glued my nose to the hammer and Ive nailed my hand to the saw handle.
WHAT?! How did you even get glue on your hammer?
Furner: I think Tim did it. He said he was trying something different. An honest mistake Im sure.
Tim, what is the meaning of this?
Sheens: Ah yes, I was trying to use the hammer to close the glue bottle. Had a bit of an oops.
Id say! Now what is this that youve built?
Sheens: Its a pencil case. Obviously, theres been some issues. Shane took some of my pieces
Flanagan: No I didnt! I asked if you wanted them and you said no.
Price: He said the thing to me too, and then snatched the piece back after he said I could have it.
Ok boys, settle. Tim, what are you doing?
Sheens: Well Im trying to staple this bit of glue onto this sticky tape here and I reckon thatll hold it all together.
Whats wrong with following the instructions?
Sheens: I dont need instructions.
Okay. Shane, I see youve finished. Its a bit motley, but still looks very good.
Flanagan: Thanks
Monaghan: Mines better than everyones.
Toovey: Its not better than Dessies
Hasler: Yes it is!
