M.O.T.A.T Day

On Thursday the 15th of August we walked to M.O.T.A.T and yes we WALKED not bused (because we're too close!) with rooms 11 and 12. We started by going into a room (next to the fire station) and sat down and had morning tea.

Soon after we put our bags in the cage and room 14 (my class) walked into the leaning room were we sat down and talked about lots of things about  typewriters, phones, cameras, morse code and how the tea bag was invented and by accident!

Afterwards we sat down back in the room and got a booklet and got into the groups with our parents and set off. We started going round to find our starting places and having to look at the things to find what it says on the sheet and find out the questions!


When we  got to go back we FINALLY had lunch! (I was hungry!)
After lunch we got together again and went on the tram. It was a bit of a wait but we did mange to get on the tram and everyone was talking and trying to get on the handlebars before they got told to sit down.

Then the moment we had been waiting for had come! FREE look about! We got back to our separate groups and headed off where ever we wanted  but my group didn't go to the game zone sadly but we went to the stocks and danced on the stilts but we ran out of time!

Then got back to the room and got our bags and waited outside for the rest of room 14. We started walking back to old Grey Lynn school I felt like yelling "goodbye M.O.T.A.T" but there's more to the rest of the day I thought.


When we got back we just put our bags up and sat in the class and started to watch the clock but then a few boys stood in front and sang songs and we couldn't stop laughing so more people started to come up and then the bell went as soon as the last song played.
 I really liked this day and wished this day could go on but some day it had to end. It was fun!
