John and Mary’s Posters.

One day Mary went up to her Mother and Father and told them how some friends had told her that schools were bringing Woodwork, Metalwork, Sewing and Cooking back into the school curriculum.

“But I don’t remember them being a part of school.”, said John, Mary’s brother.

“Politicians change things according to their beliefs at the time that they are voted into power. In the past these were school subjects, and it looks like they may soon become school subjects once again, teaching children how to use their minds, hand, and abilities to built, cook and sew.” said Father.

Mother piped in with, “I agree with them bringing those subjects back. What a wonderful idea, and much fun for the children too.”

“Dad!”, said Mary, “Since we are on the subject of woodwork, did you find us another woodwork project?”

“Well, now that you mention it Mary, yes I did.” said their Father as he smiled at them. He continued, “I was looking around on the Internet and I found a page of Projects and one was poster with a wood frame. Simple to make, but very attractive, nice to put on the wall in any home. They can also be given away as presents. Want to get to it right now?”

Both Mary and John nodded their heads eagerly. And as their Father got up from his armchair the children got off their chairs and followed their Father into the lounge where he sat down at the computer, switched on the printer and chose a poster then printed it. Then he asked the children to pick an image and print that.

Each with their own image/poster they trooped out to the workshop.

“Lets get some thin strips of wood from the Junk Box”, said their Father.
