MOTAT

On Thursday the 10th of May room 12 and the Kauri team went to MOTAT in a bus. When we arrived we ate our morning tea then we got split up into 4 groups. The first thing we did was have a little roam around the challenge zone then we had to go with an educator and see the goats. It was really fantastic and fun because we got to pat them and learn about the way New Zealand used goats instead of cows because they weren't really available in those days.

Next we learnt about how people use to dress like in the olden days and we actually got to dress like them , after that we learnt about how people had a shower which was really gross. We also learnt about the things that they used and how they never wasted anything especially clothing and food.When we were done learning with that educator we went to another educator which was actually the boss of MOTAT and with him we learnt about making whip cream by just separating the yolk from the white things , making our own little volcano with vinegar and baking soda, getting banana peels and cleaning off the scratches on your shoes and helping the scientists by tagging butterflies.

Next we had lunch and then we got to go in the mirror maze and that was awesome sauce because we always got to bumped into mirrors and if we are stuck we could look up and follow the direction it was going. At the end of the day we got ready to go and jumped back on the bus and went back to school. We all had a great time there and learnt so much and we hope we can go there again!
