M.O.T.A.T

On the 15th of August room 14, 12 and 11 went to M.OT.A.T. We walked down Surrey Crescent through the bush and over the field. Once we got there we went into a room next to the old fire station in our groups and we had morning tea.

After that we put our bags away in the cage and we went into the education room. We learned about who made the tea bag by accident, we saw really and I mean REALLY old cameras which were made around 1900s and new cameras. Also how Morse code led to phones and cellphones. I think the most coolest one was the amazing typewriter!

Once we were done looking around, we learned about new technology like the 3-D printer, see-through tablets and under water phones! It was amazing. Straight away we went on our group trails. I was with Matt, Emily, Ben, Ina, Nina and  me. 

Firstly we went into the snow mobile place. It was really cool and fascinating and how Sir Edmund Hillary innovated the tractor to survive harsh snow conditions. Secondly we went to the bikes. There were some really tiny bikes and  a HUGE Penny Farthing and lots more.

After all of our trails were done we came back to the building and got our bags and had lunch. Finally we went on the tram ride. Everyone was yelling or talking.

Around 2.15 we got off the tram to the best thing ever a FREE look around! Everyone was every where and  mostly the mirror maze.  It was very fun.

Sadly it was only 30 minutes long and we had to go back to school. At school we did Ben, James, Oli and I sang for no absolute reason, but heh it was fun. 

Next time you should ask your teacher to do singing auditions. It was a amazing day, I hope we do it another time.
