Today we had our first google meet for our new tech groups. This time have Mr Grundy who does hard materials. It was good to see him and to know what we were doing this rotation. We learnt about a housing joint and how to make one. We had to watch a video to do that and answer the questions which are down below. I hope that when we get out of lock down we can do this in person. Remember to STAY SAFE!
