Engineering

It's weapon time in Engineering club.  Following instructions found on the Internet, Alain's team made a rapid fire Lego gun.  Although getting the electric motor to spin is easy to program, the clever bit is using different size cog-wheels to make a gear ratio so the firing mechanism spins a lot faster than the motor.  The ammo comes from a magazine that can be reloaded as often as needed.  I'll be back!

Drama Society Performance

Pim, Yong, Tangmo and friends at PAWS. Each weekend they care for cats who have been horrifically treated and abandoned. They have already been commended by the organisation on how hard they work, and how they deal maturely with what can sometimes be difficult situations to deal with emotionally. Keep it up girls!

Mmmm - delicious! The team learning to cook breakfast and dinner on their own campfire. The results were, ahem, interesting.... The team can now also start a fire without matches.
