Materials Technology - USB Stick

In Hard Technology this term we were making USB Sticks. I decided to make one for myself and do it in the shape of a cat and base it off my own cat. This is the process I went through in designing my USB Drive.

Timbernook

Savage Tree-Snakes

Yesterday our class went on a trip to Timbernook at Stoney Creek Ranch in Maraekakaho. We went there because of our inquiry this term, Healthy Body, Strong Mind. So yesterday morning before 8:45 we got on a bus and drove a half-hour trip to Stoney Creek Ranch. When we arrived we met our hosts, Wacky Wendy, Jokey Jane and Troublesome Tracy. We were then split into three groups. I was in a group with Rebecca, Sophi, Isla, Jack, Jarvis, Oliver, Mekhi, Casey and Cayden. We then got to choose our names. The other groups were called Appletree Shovelers and the Nature Birds. Our group was called the Savage Tree-Snakes. ( Which I

One of the activites

personally thought was the best group ) After this we had to make a group sound and movement. The Savage Tree-Snakes move was a hissing sound. We would then act like a wiggly worm ( It didn't look like a snake... ) and we then would do the sprinkler like the snakes were spitting poison. We would then go HOYYA, and do a karate kick. It was really funny because we would keep on laughing and some of us even fell over! We then did some activities such as built a human body using things we found around Timbernook. (Hay, Stones, Pine Cones, Poles etc ) We also did other activities like passing a hoola-hoop through the group still touching the people next to you as fast as we could. The Savage Tree-Snakes won, of course. I guess we were kinda cheating because of the fact we had less people than everyone else. We also got to cook marshmallows and have some free time, which was spent by me watching people swing off a rope and jump in the mud.
