Today we  started making our tent pegs ready for shelter building .  Firstly,  we  set up our sawing area.  After  that Miss Thomas gave her tool talk. A tool talk informs us how to use the tool in a safe  and correct manner.  We used a bow saw to saw  logs.

Next, we used a billhook to split our wood into quarters. Miss Thomas and Miss Coleman  did a demonstration  of how to use the tool safely. When using a billhook you need to ask three questions and they are;

1. How are hard do you want me to hit it?

2. How many times?

3.  Are you ready partner?

Then we partnered either Miss Thomas or Miss Coleman  in  having a go at using a billhook.
