1E class wind chimes

This is 1e class doing our wind chimes,
During our classes, we have been making wind chimes for indoors. I have specifically enjoyed using the machines for cutting the M.D.F., Medium Density Fibreboard.
So far, I have found shaping the chime bars a bit of a challenge. Drawing the fire on my piece of board also proved a bit of a challenge but I got it done in the end. The rest of it was kind of easy to do. The chime bars are made of aluminium, this is a really soft metal to use so you have to be careful with it because you could bend it or scratch.
We are using the theme of the ancient elements fire, water,wind and sun.

We started by sketching ideas into our folios and then cutting them from small blocks of wood with various saws. Then, having sanded down the edges, we drilled three holes in our chosen spots. We then cut strips of aluminium into separate chime bars.
Attached is a slideshow with several pupils hard at work…
