My time at MOTAT

We went to MOTAT. The first place we went to was the village.  

We saw dummies. There was a church The chapel had some chairs. The lectern was in the
shape of an Eagle.  There were flowers on the table the chapel reminded me of a Church
because it was white and also peaceful.  

After the chapel my group went to the school house. The school house had a blackboard
with old fashioned pencils  and old fashioned books. At the front of the classroom there
was a blackboard. On the blackboard there were some maths problems to learn. In the
School house you weren't allowed to speak Maori. In the school house there were wooden
tables. The wooden tables had wooden chairs attached to them. Back in the olden days
the teacher would come around the class and would look at the students fingernails. If
your fingernails were dirty the teacher would smack your hands with a wooden cane.

Then we went to the Inventor’s room. It had games and a trampoline room. I felt excited
because I got to jump  on the aliens. I didn't do very but I still got 30 points.

Then we  went to the Pump House.

It was impressive because there was a boiler room. It was not working during the day we
went.  After the Pumphouse it was lunch time. I had a sandwich and a piece of fruit. I had
lunch with my mum.

After lunch it was time to go on the tram. I was excited to go on the tram. Rob was our
driver. On the way we saw  baby pukeko with their mum and dad.

Then we went to the Above and Beyond exhibition.

My favourite game was the one with the flying bird. It was so much fun.

After this we went to the classroom. There were experiments. The first experiment
was making a light aircraft and putting it in front of the fan to see if it would fly to the
top or stay at the bottom.

The next experiment was the one with the ping pong ball that you had to use a blow
dryer to see if you could get the ping pong ball into the cup. the next experiment used
water in a cup and a piece of card. You had to turn the cup upside down to see how much
suction there was in the cup. The last experiment was standing with a big piece of card in
front of the fan.

After the classroom we went on the bus to go back to school.

I was very sad that we were leaving MOTAT to go back to school. It was the best day

ever.

Borrower poem

I have been writing in the style of Greg O'Connell who wrote the poem "Borrower". Here is my poem.

Borrower Poem

I want to borrow the stars

and light up the sky.

I want to borrow a rainbow

and slide down to find a pot of gold.

I want to borrow the sea

and swim with the fish.

I want to borrow the moon

and go into a crater.

This is my Statistical Investigation on Room 1's Favourite chocolate bars. I had to survey 21 students on their favourite chocolate bars.

Milky Ways were the favourite chocolate bars in Room 1.

Thirteen students liked Milky Way chocolate bars.

Perky Nanas were the least favourite bars. Zero people chose Perky Nanas.

Milky Bars, Crunchie Bars and Peanut slabs were not very popular.

My Blogger Profile.

Hi my name is Athena. I go to Christ the King School. I live with my Mum. In my spare time I like to ride my bike on the grass and to walk my dog.

At school l  am good at maths. l like to add numbers together. I like doing Art at school. I find writing challenging especially coming up with ideas to write about. My goals are to focus more in class and to get my work finished within the set time.

I am looking forward to going to camp, swimming at the local swimming pool and doing heaps of art this year.
