Our trip to motat

On Friday the 2nd of June the Year 5's and 6's went to Motat. It was a long and annoying journey because many people were singing songs. When we arrived we were told the rules. The part was to finally open our lunch box and eat our morning tea. After that we headed down to the classroom. At the classroom we were looking at levers, pulley, wheels and gears.
When we finished that we picked up some objects and we were told to find out what simple machine they were. We then needed to make model pulleys with some K-nex and some string and a ping pong ball. The people in my group were Micheal, Steven, Daniel and Callum. We made a truck with a crane. In the end groups model was the best.

The next thing we did was go see a man named Mike. He was in charge of the pump house. While we were in the pump house we had to do a challenge. There were many machines in the pump house there was also a boiler to. After that we went to next door. Next door was created to pump fresh clean drinking water from Western Springs. The water that was being pumped at the pump house was sent to Auckland city.
