TRANSCRIPT
Y11 3D mock exam
Over the last week, the Year 11 3D students have been working hard in their 10 hour practical mock
exam. There brief was to design and make a table or chair predominately out of wood and they had to
use at least one wood joint. All students started their research in the summer holidays and began
meeting their client to discuss ideas and outcomes. They had to take into consideration their clients’
needs as well as their creative design ideas. They have used every machine including the fret saws,
disc sander, belt sander, handsaw, pillar drill, laser cutter as well as the hand tools whilst creating, lap,
mitre, dowel and mortise and tenon joints. Other materials have included acrylic, resin and pebbles!
At Croydon High we continue to emphasise the importance of STEAM, encouraging cross-curricular
links with mathematics, science and enterprise technology, as it is not only vital for further education
but for getting our students world ready. Creative thinkers are essential in every sector from the
technical to the scientific. In the UK alone there are now over 2 million jobs in the creative sector, a rise
of over 30% since 2011. Well done Year 11, you should be extremely proud of your achievements, you
have shown creativity, determination, critical thinking, focus, passion, energy, enthusiasm, resilience,
resolve and the willingness to problem solve at every moment. So the question is will they be real
world ready? You bet, they will be!
Please do keep Wednesday 10th June 2020 4.00pm - 7.00pm free, as this is when all the work will be
show cased in our Art & 3D Design
summer exhibition.
