Charlie and I are learning about projectiles this term, the trebuchet and onsager's similarities and differences.
Even though they both chuck things into the air, that doesn't mean they're the same thing. One is bigger than the other so already they’re not the same. Another reason is the trebuchet uses weight to power it and the onager uses rope power to power it.
The trebuchet goes higher than the onager because the trebuchet has a higher arch. Quick fact the onager used to be used to smash castles to smithereens.

Camp experience 😵
When my group and I were in high ropes on the first morning at YMCA camp, I was surprised that I could do it. If you haven't heard last year in 2016 I cut my hand on an wineglass and severed all my tendons. Even now I don't have full movement in it, so it was quite a challenge. I could only get past one activity on the high ropes so it wasn't that impressive for people who can do them all. I reckon it helped my hand because it has improved from before camp.
On the first night at camp before dinner, I had a shower but when I went in there my hands were real muddy, so I washed them. When I went to dry them they didn't have paper towels or one of them fancy electric dryers. I didn't want to ruin my clothes by wiping my my hands on them so I went back to my cabin and just dried my hands on my sleeping bag. That was stupid because my sleeping bag wouldn't dry out when it's about -10 degrees outside. So that night I slept in a soggy sleeping bag.
On day 2 at YMCA camp after a hard activity work out at orienteering, we had fattening food break. I was really excited because yesterday I had lost my appetite after looking at the cookies at the supermarket I hate ! But today was a treat, my mouth was watering I could hardly resist, and 321 dig in. Gobble smack smack and that was only one chocolate finger. I would wonder what it will sound like with 20 but just as I was thinking that it hit me like a lightning bolt with a hint of thunder. We were only allowed something like 5 let alone 20. Bummer. “Yay” I said in a sarcastic voice. “Two chocolate fingers.”
I enjoyed camp because I challenged myself on the high ropes it was hard for me because I cut all my tendons, so my fingers don't have movement.
