I also linked this with my Manaiakalani Google ClassOnAir, so you're able to see the process that we took. The project took us about a month all up to be completed.
The 1st lesson was based around letter writing, it was asking for help. We wrote letters and emailed a staff member asking for materials and instructions. This was the lesson here.
The 2nd lesson was based on the design process where we used google drawing to design what we wanted the hut to look like, this was really fun doing this as the boys were super eager and keen to get started. We spent a lot of time measuring out exactly how long the hut needed to be. This was the lesson here.
The 3rd lesson was getting hands on and into the shed and building the hut. This was such an amazing experience where the boys were able to use lots of different tools and get their hands dirty. Click here to see the full lesson.
Massive thank you to Garth Jacobsen for making this experience possible for the boys, they had such an amazing time and learned so much!
Keep an eye out for our next post to see what happens next, painting and where it will be put!
