Camp

 Camp. The year 4 to 7 went to Taupo bay and had an awesome camp. The first day we we're there we did beach activities like scavenger hunt and swimming. The next day we went to Lane cove and went on the giant walk. It wasn't that bad as last years one. Some of us we're pretty tired but we finally made it to the waterhole. It was freezing cold but it was so fun.We got back to camp tired but happy. The day we just had a fun day on the beach kayaking, surfing and beach games. Camp was tiring but really fun.

Disposable syringes

 Disposable syringes



Colin Murdoch, a curious man, decided to make disposable syringes. Colin Murdoch was a pharmacist, he tested all sorts of chemicals and substances. Though because pharmacy training required non human patients he decided to also veterinarian resume as well. He studied a lot of chemistry mechanics during his other resumes. Colin suffered dyslexia but that didn’t stop him from inventing things. He became a tinker and just had fun with a lot of things.


Colin started inventing all sorts of things like the tranquillising dart gun, silent burglar alarm. He made over 40 different inventions. The most important one was the disposable syringes. He created it in 1956. He got the idea from a fountain pen and just started tinkering. Next thing you know he made the syringe. People became cross invented by re-use of hypodermic syringes. Though on the down side the health department said his idea was too ahead of time, that never stopped him.


He got his first award for the child proof bottle cap. But the coolest one is the one he got for his syringe. He got the Governor General's Export award for his sterile refilled disposable hypodermic syringe. Colin got many awards in his years, and he is a very smart man.
