My Pepeha

Hiya :) Today Megan asked us to use a website (link here) to create out Pepeha, depending if we knew it or we didn't, and to post it to our blog. I know mine, so I selected 'I know my Pepeha' and typed in my mountain, river, family name, etc. Its a cool website, easy to use and simple. 

How to Make Ink Traps

Hiya,

Last week we made Ink traps to track rats and mice in our Horticulture block. Kate and I made ours and placed them in some bushes, we checked them the next day period one and a rat had stolen our entire sponge! Below I'll show how to make them, and I'll put a link to the video we used here.

You'll need:

Two plastic milk cartons

One craft Knife or Scissors

Food Colouring

A Sponge

A black Plastic bag

Peanut butter

One peice of cardboard

One A-4 piece of paper

Instructions:

1. Cut off the top and bottom of the milk cartons

2. Slot them together

3. Trim the sponge to fit inside the bottom

4. Place the sponge inside the bottom of the milk carton 

5.  Squirt many drops of food colouring on the sponge

6. Push the cardboard inside the tunnel

7. put the paper on top

8. Put a spoonfull of peanut butter on the sponge

9. Put the sponge inside the trap

10. Cover the trap in the black plastic 

11. Put the Ink Tunnel in a sheltered place and check for prints each morning.
