Our Trip to Motat

On Friday 4th June all the year 7 students went on a trip to Motat. We went by bus and some students went by van and car.

The reason we went to Motat is because we were learning about communication. When we arrived we were met by Katie and she told us that we are going to do some fun activities.

Then we went inside and had out morning tea. When we finished our morning tea we had to listen for our activities. We were also separated into groups. Our class Room 3 were separated into three groups. My group leader was Miss Yee our student teacher.
Our first activity was going to the Vehicle Gallery. We were looking at traffic lights and a green car. When we were looking for the traffic lights Miss Yee noticed that there was a Solar Kiwi that looks like an aeroplane.

After going to the Vehicle Gallery our next activity was the Communications House. We went in for ten minutes and when Chloe made the phone ring I went and picked up the phone and talked to her. Chloe and I were talking to each other and after that Miss Yee told us its time for us to go to our next activity.

Our next activity was going to Whisper Dishes. Chloe and Makareta ran and whispered to Johnny and Isi. We were whispering to each other and saying things to each other.
After the Whisper Dishes we went on a tram ride. When we arrived, our other class members were there with their groups. The Tram ride was fun. We listened to the history of the tram we were on. After the tram ride we had lunch with all the classes.

After lunch our class went to the workshop. We had to walk to where the classroom is. Katie was our educator. She told us about how communication was in the past and devices that were made in the present. It was interesting to see how big mobile phones used to be. The disks that could save work on from the computer were huge in the past. It is bigger than a big frying pan. After Katie’s presentation we got to experiment with the devices in the classroom.

When we finished our workshop, we walked back to meet the other classes. We said thank you to Katie for hosting us and started walking towards the bus. Our trip to Motat was a fun and interesting trip.
