On monday TeHenga went to MOTAT.

When we were on the bus ride me and sharlyn were sitting

together and she brought her nano and we listened to music.

At last we got to MOTAT.

When we got there we had some lunch at the Dome. It felt

like we were in a cave. It was echoey when you talked.

Everyone in my group kept on saying lets go to the mirror

maze so we went. It was very confusing you kept on bumping

into things. There were dead ends.

Next we went on a tram ride. It was fun when your’re inside it

feels like it's slow but it isn't.

It was very fun and interesting i had a fun day.

On Monday all of Te Henga went on an exciting trip to Motat.

On the bus it was so noisy that it sounded like a bunch of meerkats crying or like I was a baby in a baby park!  At least I knew that each second  we were getting closer and the closer we get the quieter everyone will be.  I took a little nap and when I opened my eyes we were there.  Then peace and quiet came.  Someone called Abby was talking about the rules of Motat.  One of them was that we could not run.

A bit later we were all walking in our groups with an adult per group so that not all parents would come.  My Mum came so she led my group  If you want to know why we have adults it is because we will all end up lost and all alone.  First of all we stopped at a playzone.  There were all sorts of fun stuff like there was a shaking cafe.

The next place we went to was the mirror maze I was the first person to get out.  It was very difficult.  I tried to help people out to get out but I could not get their attention.  But I could get my mom's attention.  We went straight away to watch a clip but it was not that exciting.

                     

                                            

I really enjoyed the trip to Motat and I will never forget it.

“Ohhh yay" all the kids yelled as they headed to MOTAT.

When we arrived we went straight to the dome. The dome has circle shaped poles which form a round shape. A tarpaulin leans upon the poles. On the ground inside lay a matted indoor and outdoor carpet. There were table like seats and ottomans.

Next we went to explore the mirror maze. We had to try and find our way out. There were lots of different paths. Many led to dead ends. Only one was right. It was confusing because the mirrors looked similar to the paths. I kept on bumping into the mirrors.

Then we trecked to the ninety degrees below room. It was all about Sir Edmund Hillary. There were jackets, boots, clothes and pick axes that might have been used by Sir Edmund Hillary.

Next, we explored the earthquake cafe. It shook a lot. When you pushed a button it turned on for thirty seconds. Another turned it off.

what fun at the mirror maze!

It was amazing and very educational at MOTAT. 

I had a great day.

made it!

                                                

which way do I go?

On Monday Te Henga went on a trip to MOTAT. And it took us ages to get there.

First we all walked to the dome to hear some rules about MOTAT. One was no running around MOTAT. and we Need to throw our fruit away when we are finished so we don’t bring fruit flies back to Huapai.

Then we went to the activities room. There was an earthquake, spinning machine and a music player. When we were all finished with the activities. We went to the mirror maze. It was so hard. But I know a trick never follow the light.

Next we went on a tram. The tram was so slow that it hardly got to the end of the zoo. But then we got back to MOTAT.  

I enjoyed MOTAT.

Driving in the bus, then suddenly we arrived under the tent and the person told us what to do.

We are in the dome having  morning tea. I found a good place to rest. Next we are on the way to the game room. I’m going in the earthquake cafe 'wooooooooo that was shaky, oh it’s tram time.'

'Hurry hurry we are to be late for the tram.' said "Oh few we are not late for the tram ride." I shouted "it’s coming. Quick get on."  

This was very fun. the conductor had a fake ear it was creepy.

'Oh welcome to the machine' i said to my friends. First i went on slide, then the lift. And then on the seat pull.

It was so so so so fun.

WALT: write a recount

On monday Te Henga went on a trip to motat. When Te Henga went on the big bus my Teacher said 'gosh it is noisy in here.' When Te henga got to motat Te Henga went to a meeting place. It is called the dome. It is a big white circle .Where we can eat lunch and morning tea.

Finally, we got to do something. It was the tram ride we learnt somethings from driver like how do they work. They work by electricity. It is pretty amazing. Next we got to do the mirror maze. Me and my friend went through it pretty easy. My other friend was behind me smashing into the walls . It was funny it helped my eye sight lots.

Then it was time to have some lunch I was starving. After room 20 had their lunch room 20 went to welcome to machines. First I saw a slide I walked to the slide and slid down it. I had a good day at Motat because there was lots of fun stuff there about simple machines.
