Relevant Previous Knowledge: The students have covered the parts within a lathe, the machine’s
basic functionality and the specific use of tools in combination with the lathe to create features.

Relevant Previous Skills: The students have covered many particle skills and hand tool work meaning
they will have a foundation of knowledge focusing on the chisel use during wood turning.

Observations (Previous Lesson): The students are enjoying this topic and showing an interest in the
functionality of this machine and discovering how it is used to create pieces.

2. LESSON RATIONALE

Brief outline of WHY this content is the basis of the lesson- what are your reasons for KEY*
planning the lesson in this way? (Bullets or 1 para)

Today's lesson will be used to reflect on the learning in the previous lesson on woodturning
and using certain tools to achieve certain desired results when using a lathe. The students
RL
will be given the opportunity to work on finishing their Christmas practical project [candle
holder crib] however most of the class who are finished this project already will be working NL
on the lathe practising some of these skills they have studied in theory. Each student will
have roughly 5 to 7 minutes on the lathe learning to use each type of chisel available to
them to understand how these effects are achieved practically. NL

quiet and orderly fashion.
2-6 mins The teacher will introduce the
students to the lesson by offering
them the automation of other
completing their unfinished
Christmas projects are taking a
practical lesson on the lathe in
which they will experience using
the tools the different resistance is
felt with each tool as well as
learning to practise some of their
bead carving skills.
6-10 mins The teacher will address any
concerns with the upcoming use of
machines for the project with the
class, if any particularly the use of
the lathe in this lesson.
LESSON SEQUENCE (MIDDLE)
10-18 mins the teacher will give this time
students so they can set up and get
any materials they will need for
whatever they have decided to do
in this class today there were also
confirmed their decision with the
teacher before using either the
lathe or any machines necessary to
complete their project this is to
ensure the safety of the students.
18-24 mins the teacher will carry out a brief
demonstration on how to set up a
piece of timber for use with the
lathe while other students who are
continuing with their practical well
prepared our project and rise up a
quick action plan on what they will
be doing with their project today
and how they intend on doing it.
Students will clear up any O

before using delayed. If a student
was not in for the theory lesson on
using delayed safely they will
unfortunately not be allowed to use
the lathe during this lesson and will
have to finish their Christmas
practical or do a practise joint for
their next project.
Students can voice any concerns O
about using a new machine and will
be given an opportunity. L
N
students can treeve any materials
necessary to complete whatever
task they so choose to take on
during this lesson. Once the
students have made this decision
they can ask the teacher for
permission to use whatever
machines they require. If the
teacher feels they have not met the
safety requirements to use the
machine they will not be allowed
and will have to choose something
else to do for the lesson.
The students using the lathe will
observe the demonstration on the
preparation of a piece of timber for
the lathe. The students who are
finishing their Christmas practical
projects will write open action plan
on how they intend to do what
parts of the project are required as
they were not in on the daisies
recovered and I would like to allow
them to finish these projects as
we're getting well into January
they're taking up space in the room.
24-34 mins The teacher will now give a quick
demonstration on the lathe
including all students both doing
their projects or not where he will
show them what tools are used to
create which constructions on a
turned piece.
34-36 mins The teacher will now discuss with
the students who are attempting to
complete their Christmas practical
projects what way they will go
about their project and allowed
him to complete the remainder of
the project once they have
observed the use of a lathe.
36-50 mins the teacher will observe the class
from the far end of the room close
to where the led's are so they can
ensure the students using the
machinery are safe and operating
with caution. The students doing
their practical will also be
encouraged to visit the teacher
every few minutes to show their
steps and if the teacher notice any
bad practise with the tools or
anything that could be improved
upon within their project they will
move to assist them for a moment
and bring them back to the end of
the room to show them the correct
techniques in the vices.
CLOSURE (END)
50-53 mins Firstly, the teacher will instruct the
students to take down the project
box for each table in the year group
and tape and label all their parts
for their project to ensure nothing
goes missing as the co-operating
teacher has warned me that this is
a huge problem among this group
and that cleanup will take at least
10 minutes.
53-57 mins The teacher will inspect the
student returning the tools and
students will watch the
demonstration observing the key
safety features of the machine as
well as how to set it up and how to
safely operate it while using
unfamiliar tools for the first time.
The students who have observed
the use of a lathe demonstration by
the teacher can begin working
under the supervision of the
teacher while they discuss with the
other students how they will be
attempting to complete their
Christmas practical projects.
Students doing Christmas practical
will be allowed to work away under
the supervision of the teacher
ensuring that they are following
health and safety guidelines to
complete their projects. The
students on the lathe will each be
given a couple of minutes to
practise woodturning using all the
different types of woodturning
chisels which they will learn the
names for and be given multiple
lower order questions to assess this
knowledge.
Firstly, the students will take down MA
the project box for each table in the
year group and tape and label all L
their parts for their project to
ensure nothing goes missing. One
person per table will then return

not and return them to the correct
slot. They will also make sure to O
turn off any machines they were
using during the lesson.

57-59 mins The teacher will double check
all tools have been returned
and only then will the students
wipe down the tables and
sweep the floor around them.
Students will return any misplaced MA
tools to their correct storage CL
location and then sweep any debris
off their workbench and onto the
floor for another student to sweep

6. LESSON REFLECTION

Q. What went well in this lesson, and why? (1 para)

 I think during this lesson one of the best practises was when the students were allowed to work
independently learning on their own while also under the supervision of the teacher and being
corrected on any bad practises being done. This was a great way to learn as most of the students did in
fact catch the errors as the teacher was watching and ensuring that their peers were operating the
machine safely and under the correct guidelines in the woodworking room.

Q. What did not go as well as hoped, in this lesson, and why? (1 para)

the exit from the room was quite abrupt As for some reason the belted dismissed the students went
off 4 minutes early meaning the cleanup was cut short and the students all attempted to flee rather
quickly out of the room which left a couple of students hanging back to help with the clean up which I
insisted they move on and enjoy their lunch while I proceeded with the cleanup. This cannot be the
case for when I'm a full time teacher as I would not have time to clean up the room after some of my
students made these mistakes. This will be addressed in the next lesson.

Q. What might I do to improve this lesson, were I to deliver it again? (1 para)

If I were delivered this lesson again, I would more than likely include the students doing the practical on
their Christmas projects more in the late work as some of them did not seem to encourage to complete
their work and just did not want to take turns on the lathe. This was quite disappointing to me and I
hope that these students will become more encouraged to do the work as I did not want to stop the
class today from enjoying a new hands on activity when some students did not want to partake.

Q. What did I observe today, in general terms, that I need to follow up on, next class? (e.g. student
engagement, classroom management issues, poor/unwieldy entrance and exit from the
classroom, lighting in the room, visibility of the screen from the back of the room, absenteeism,
SEN challenges, H&S, etc.). Bullet points.

MEMOS

 Entrance to the room was good and students came in well mannered and prepared to work.
 The exit from the room was all orderly and needs to be corrected in the next lesson.
 The visibility for the students around the ladies was quite good as there is a large desk/
workstation at the end of the woodworking room I was in which is great for giving
presentations to large groups of students.
