On Thursday this week (22nd June, 2017), Rooms 19, 23 & 24 went to MOTAT. We had an AWESOME time exploring and engaging with the exhibits. Have you heard the expression "A picture tells a thousand words" before? Well it's true. Please enjoy viewing just a few of the pictures that were taken on this FANTASTIC day.
In the beginning..........
 |
| All 3 classes in the Dome, to meet our teacher for the day. |
Then we were set free to EXPLORE and LEARN more!!!!!
 |
Wow our classroom is really
different compared to this one!
|
We visited heaps of different buildings and then it was our time to have our lesson with Ben & Abby.
 |
Ben was telling us about the different
types of bridges there are. |
 |
Ben and Abby building bridges
while explaining the science behind them |
Then it was our turn...................................... to build bridges..................................................
 |
| This activity required TEAMWORK!!! |
 |
Great suspension bridge boys!
Engineers of the future.
|
So we learnt that bridges are made out of steel, wood and concrete. Thankfully, full scale bridges are not really made out of K'nex.
 |
EXCELLENT team work everyone!!! You built a fantastic ARCH bridge.

On behalf of the Room 19 students and myself I would like to thank the teachers who organised this learning experience for us, the whanau who came along and supported a group and the staff at MOTAT for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us. Last but not least, the students for really engaging in all of the AWESOME exhibits.
It was just to hard to pick only 1 AMAZING student to receive this Merit Certificate this week so......

ReplyDeleteHi Room 19,
ReplyDeleteI love doing school trips to the museum! This looks really fun! The dome looks so cool; I agree with the saying 'A picture tells a thousand words!'. I can't wait for OUR next trip to the museum!
Thanks,

Hi room 19 I was wondering how many bridges did you learn about.
ReplyDeleteKia ora Room 19,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your photos from your trip to MOTAT. I haven't been to MOTAT for many years and your pictures have inspired me to go back and check it out again. We have a place called Heritage Park in Whangarei and they have an old classroom set up just like the one you saw at MOTAT. You are right, it looks quite different to the classrooms of today. Did you get a chance to try writing with a feather and ink? It was great to see the team work and collaboration on the bridge building.
