Day 9

On the first day of intersession we learned about all the different tools and what they were used for. We were then told what our jobs were going to be. After that we practiced on scrap wood to measure and to use angles. We then practiced cutting the wood with hand saws. The next day we got our wood that we were going to use to build the ga-ga pit. We then divided the wood into all the different crews. Then we measured all the pieces of wood and wrote them down onto a piece of papper which is called a cut list. On the 3rd day we measured all the angles that we would need to cut and then we drew the cutting lines onto the wood. We then used the mitre saws which we learned how to use in the morning to cut the wood into the correct shape. On days 4 and 5 we painted all the pieces of wood. We painted all the plywood yellow and the other pieces of wood we colored blue. On day 6 we started to find a good place to put the ga-ga pit and then we started building. We were able to get most of the frame done. On day 7 we finished the whole thing. On day 8 we then painted "The Pit" on the ga-ga pit. Next to that we painted all of our names. On day 9 we sewed the bean bags for the corn hole group and then we went outside to play ga-ga.
