My time at MOTAT
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I went to MOTAT. I hadn’t been to MOTAT
in such a long time that I forgot what it looked like. I was so excited to
see the Above and Beyond exhibition. I was quite disappointed because
most of their best exhibitions were gone, but I still enjoyed my time at
MOTAT.

The first thing we did was the scavenger hunt. My group saw a lot of old
fire trucks, some boots, helmets, medals, wheels, hoses, and axes.
During the scavenger hunt we went to find things at the village.
We needed to find some kettles, dolls, eggs, cribs, beds, washboards
( In the washroom). After we went to the village we had to go to the school
house.
My group sat at the desks and there was also cool writing on the desk!
We all stood by the table and sang the national anthem.
The boys were so funny when they sang it. Did you know that every
morning the teachers would check the students fingernails and if they
were dirty the teacher would slap the kids nails with a cane.

Above And Beyond
When we finished the scavenger hunt we went to a new exhibition in
MOTAT. It was called Above and Beyond. There were a lot of
exhibitions about flight. The fun part about Above and Beyond
was the space simulator. You had to go in and stand. It looked
like you were actually in space.
There was a countdown and it looked like you were in an elevator.
Another one of my favourite displays was a space game.
You had to take as much junk as you could with robots. I
was winning until Reupena came and took over my game and made
me come third place.

Tram ride
After we went to Above and Beyond we went on the tram ride.
We waited for a bit at the station until we met our driver Rob.
Rob drove us around the zoo and around MOTAT 2.
There were a lot of interesting facts about the tram.
When we were driving back to MOTAT we slowed down to
some baby pukekos and some older pukekos. The babies were
so small and cute. They were almost the size of Rob’s fist.
Me and my group said “AWWW they’re so cute!”.
After we stopped, we took a picture in front of the tram.
Some of the boys in my group thought that Rob was going to run us
over. When we were walking back from the tram ride we bumped into
Miss Paton and Toakase. They were asking where the tram rides were.

Then we went to have lunch. Me and my group sat and ate and had a
little conversation.
When we had finished eating we went with Kent our educator and he
took us to the room upstairs near the innovators room.
It was called Discovery One. Kent told us lots of things about flight.
He made a slideshow about it. He also set out some stations around
the room so we could try them out.
The station I liked most was when we had to make a creation.
We would have to throw it up in the air tube and if it came out from the
bottom it had too much weight. If it came out from the top it was too light.
We also learnt the forces of flight. There was lift, drag, thrust, and weight.

The Telephone room
When we were walking out we walked to the telephone room.
There were old telephones like rotary telephones, communication collection
and lots more.
On some of the telephones we could communicate with each other.
Me and Juliana were playing round with the telephone.
After we finished visiting the telephone room we walked to the car room.
There were heaps of olden day cars like race cars, vintage cars,
a tractor
and a wedding car.
There was also a steering wheel that we could try out.
Me and Betty went on top of this white deck and we acted
like we were the Queens
of the car room. We didn’t let anyone on top.
After we went to the car room we went into the Technology room
there were games,
old TVs, old phones, a selfie machine and a morse code sending device.
Me and my friends and Virginia took a picture at the selfie machine.
There were also a lot of games such as Donkey Kong, Pacman,
a Jungle game, King Kong and more.
Then we had to go back to school.

Conclusion
My favourite part of MOTAT was Above and Beyond because there
were a lot of fun games to try and it looked liked we were actually in
space. The worst part of MOTAT was the Pump House because
nothing was working and operating it. I really enjoyed my time at
MOTAT and I would love to go there with my friends and family in the
holidays.
