merit blog post 1 (technology)

Yesterday the year 7 and 8's went to tech at Lincoln primary school. At the moment I am doing textiles and design. We were doing our planning and started prototyping. I am making a pillow to put in my room. while I was at tech I showed the respect value because I listened to the teachers instructions and I behaved on the bus by only talking to the person next to me quietly so the bus driver could concentrate.
