Wood is when you make things out of wood like fans and whistles. You get to use a band saw and a lot of different tools. In food you get to make a lot of yummy things like apple pie, pasta and gingerbread. In food you get to use the oven and a lot of different cooking items In sewing you get to make monster pillows, bags and you get to use sewing machines and you get to learn how to hand stitch. In DVC you get to use Acrylic to  make phone stands, cars and key rings. When you make key rings you get to use the laser cutter the laser cutter cuts the photo  in the key ring. Now I will be talking to you about the different language that we learn. One of the classes that we learn is Maori. In Maori we get to read books in Maori and we get to learn about there karakia. In japanese we get to learn how to ask what their name is and how to count to ten. At the end of the learning program we get to play sumo wrestling and explore their food in their culture.
