Overall Thoughts of Passion Projects

The Passion Project I chose was Science Discovery. There were many other choices but I got that one. In my group, there was me, Caleb, Greg and Jack we had decided on making a Lego gun that shoots rubber bands and shoots them fast.

While doing this I learned how to make a trigger mechanism and how it works. The way that it works it you would pull the trigger then it would rotate all the gears thee the rubber band would get launched forward.

The part I enjoyed was making the gun because it was easy but also challenging. 

Something that I disliked was having to put the gun back together after it broke.

Next, I did something like this I would choose something different because I don't want to make another Lego gun or something like that.

Overall I thought that it was a fun experience because it was my first time doing something like that and I enjoyed doing it. 

EOTC Week

For 4 days the year 8's went on our EOTC week. While we were doing the EOTC we did many different activities but because of the rain, we didn't do our first day. On Monday we were supposed to go to omaka scout camp and do some water activities but we didn't.

For Tuesday We went to Rehua Marae in Christchurch all we did there was listen to people talking about the history of the Marae and some other things that have happened. It was really interesting for me because I had never been to a Marae before and it was helpful learning some of the meanings of carvings on the walls.

On Wednesday we went to Adrenaline Forest and Spencer Park. I really liked adrenaline forest because I like climbing trees and having to do the obstacles to finish the different stages.
