Technology blog post

We are learning to solve problems using technology. My question was How can I stop possums from destroying our native bush? I have been learning to make my own possum trap in technology and my trap works like this, so the possums is going to run to the food in my trap and its going to tripwire my trap and the doors are going to shut on him.

I am proud of my prototype because I have put heaps of pride into my prototype  and I had to make some changes to my work to make it better so now it is better then the my first try.

Something that challenged me was getting it to work the way  I wanted but I had to change it and make it better. The first time it had a spike going thorough but I pulled them all out of the box and I had to add some different materials to my prototype to make it work better.

I really enjoyed making my prototype out of a box and out of materials and it was so much fun making a trap to catch predators in the bush that eat New Zealand Native birds.

The top of my trap and you can see where the stick wall begins
from the top it goes  through the long hole and it blocks the other side of the trap

Omatua and Weka camp

 At Camp Omatua was really fun I really enjoyed camping at Camp Omatua and for dinner we had the first night we had burgers and pasta we had the 2 night. At Camp Omatua we went into the bamboo forest, built a bamboo hut, made a catapult, play hand ball in the hall, paint in the hall, played the fear factor and the chocolate game, and the slip and slide was fun and then played soccer.

On the 2nd night I was getting ready to go to camp Weka but the Weka kids had dinner early, before everyone else. Weka camp was not that far from camp Omatua but we could not drive all the way because Weka was all the way at the bottom and there were a zip line that can carry all of our day packs to Weka. We had to walk all the way down to Weka it was long and once we got down to Weka we had to grab all of the day pack in a shed and we had to take our own stuff to our cabins and we had for desert was orange cake's with ice cream.                  

It was fun playing at the pools
I really like jumping off the diving broad
