Chilfen Joinery were recently asked if a member of the team could visit the local academy to assist the year 4 students with their woodwork projects. Chilfen Joinery saw this as a great opportunity to encourage the younger generation to become joiners in the future. Colin from the Joinery team was more than happy to help support the students during their DT lesson.
The children had a great time and said:
‘Last week we did DT and we made cars and Colin came and helped us saw wood. Colin was kind and helpful and fun.’

‘Colin helped us cut wood for the chassis for our vehicles. Colin was kind to us. We are so lucky Colin came to help us. He had a saw thing to help us cut. It went zzzzzzzz!’

The teacher wrote:

‘We were very grateful to Colin for coming to help the children saw the wood they needed to make their vehicles in DT. Colin helped the children to use the correct technique and reminded them of the safety points. He was great with the children and they enjoyed having an expert in to help them! Thank you to Chilfen Joinery for allowing Colin to give up some of his time to come and work with the children.’
