Carving with Anthony

On the 25^th of May Anna, Celina, Jeremiah and Mary went to Anthony’s house to help him carve the bench for the school. We started off by practicing carving on a piece of spare wood then Anthony brought out two children he had already started making.  We helped him finish them by smoothing the wood with sandpaper and we finished off the carving. We sanded two planks of wood. Anthony then went and got the back for the bench he had already made and it was time to start assembling it.  We got two planks of wood and put them resting between the two children we then got the back which had ‘Cappabue’ carved into it and stuck it behind them. It was time to go back to school.

Then on Friday the 26^th Anthony brought the bench to the school and we put it in the layby outside the school.
