SDT 1-9

I assume that this is the first post in this week. I have finally took photos last lesson and is now able to post them in to my blog. Unfortunately, many progresses are missed... Until now, Doris and I finished the garden, as mentioned. Last lesson, I worked on our building (big one). Our building is a curved form so it is more aesthetically pleasing, and give some differences out of the original building. The sides are finished, and I now have to build the top. Doris painted our triangular car park with grey paint and now we have to draw black lines and some colourful little cars maybe? we have our last lesson for term one on friday and I will sort out the building, than move on to paint the lines of the car park and colour in some cars inside them perhaps. I am enjoying this work but I am not sure if we can finish this in 2 weeks, in 6 hours of lesson :/ I will try though. hope we can get a great result out of our resort at the end of this :) Also about the photos, I think I will take some of our car park on next DT lesson.

SDT 1-8

Today, we have done our cute little garden and I put the flowers on whilst Doris was working on the sculpture between the garden and the building. Because I didn't brought my phone in to the class, I couldn't manage to take a photo. Tomorrow, Mr Ward and about 7 or 8 girls are leaving for an excursion to QUT. I really wanted to go to that excursion but unfortunately missed it. I just admitted the fact that I missed the chance, and no i'm hoping for next chance to come up. Wish if mr ward can manage our next excursion at the end of the year... So in the next lesson on friday, Mr Ward and girls who are going on the excursion will be in the class tomorrow. So I think I can take the photo tomorrow and also prepare for my oral in term 2.

SDT 1-7

It's been a long time since last posted. Now Doris and I are carrying our project very well. I think the hard thing about the group working is to corroborate mutual idea because, in majority of cases, they are different. But we are giving up some to accept others. This helps progress in our work. I am quite satisfied with what we have done until now. Doris has done the water (or pool) in a very nice colour and the big square building that meant to be on our resort. But we changed our plan to make a curved building so that can be fit into a circular solar panel that is located above the building. Also this can give some differences from the original building in China. Until now, we have our water fountain, outdoor pool, green base for the garden. we haven't done much yet that's the reason for we to be hurry... This lesson we worked on the garden but we didn't get enough time to finish it. I hope we get to finish that by tomorrow's lesson. That is actually the most fun part since this process. After we finish the garden, I think I have to build the rest part of the curved building and Doris may be keeps working on the car part under the solar panel, on both side of the resort. I find hard during this project but also interesting. I think I have a good chance to learn many things about sustainable design and technology while I'm doing the task 2 for the assignment. Next time, I might try to put up some photos on my blog.
