Billy Cart Day

Today January 17, 2008 the grade 5 started to make the Billy Cart. Some of our parents and some carpenters came to our school to help us make our Billy Cart. We were very excited and a bit dissapointed because we can't cut the wood into the shape that we wanted. Actually we wanted to do everything to make our Billy Cart.

Today Andrew's and Ristia's Billy Cart has been made. First the two wheel in the back were 360 degree and the two wheels in the front were straight, but it doesn't work well. So, we change the 360 into the front and the straight one into the back. It doesn't work well too. Then we change all of the wheels into the straight one and it work really well. One of the parent try to ride on it.

Today I learned how to screw the wheel to the wood. We used the big screw and some nuts to put the wheel in the wood. I learned that if we joined some piece of wood together is not really good because when you ride on it, it could break into pieces.
