Marvellous MOTAT

What a fun day we all had at MOTAT.
We had the most amazing weather and walked all around the great exhibits.


Starting with the bus ride from school...

We then had a briefing on arrival, with Teresa, our MOTAT educator.

Sitting on the tram with the tram driver, who told us about the different steam and electric trams at MOTAT.

After that, we were taken by Teresa to the MOTAT classroom which was FULL!! of new and old toys. We were able to compare wooden toys with the newer plastic replicas and play with all the toys except the very precious older ones, which were sitting on bubble wrap to keep them safe.

 Some of our wonderful parents started a game of 'elastics'. They were really good at it!!

 Teresa showed us a Santa Bear from Farmers, a little bit different from the Santa Bears you see there now.

After lunch, we were able to roam around MOTAT. We were given a map and exhibits to

look for, which was really helpful.

We visited the old schoolroom. We all sat in the school desks and tried to imagine being a student back then. (and a teacher!!!!!)

 MOTAT have a communications house to visit, so we went in and looked at all the old telephones.

One exhibit that many enjoyed, was the 'Smelly Toilets'

They looked so real and smelt terrible. But very much fun!!!

Then we took Dilan to the stocks........

We had a very busy, entertaining day and learnt so much about many things past and present...we were so tired, some of us fell asleep on the way home.... 

Thank you to our wonderful parents helpers, Danlelle,Yen, Shalvin, Jingjin and Abbie.

We appreciated your company and fabulous help today..

'J' is for jellyfish

Last week, the letter we focused on was 'J', so on Friday we busily made our shimmering jellyfish, now gliding across our back wall in room 9.
Tomorrow we are off to MOTAT... so keep an eye out for trip photos.

A week in the life of Room 9!!!!

This may be a bit of an ambitious project, but we thought you would like to see all the different activities that go on in our class over the week.

Today (Monday) we had P.E with Room12 our buddy class.

Unfortunately, not all our class is visible...as we were busy doing our activities and rotating around a circuit which consisted of moonhoppers, hoops, large ball and small ball activities, skipping ropes and scooping the ball activities.

Keep watching to see more of 'A week in the life of Room 9'

New students to room 9

We welcome our fabulous new students to room 9. We are becoming a fantastic happy team.

 

Friday afternoon in our class

As important as it is to cover the curriculum subjects, it is equally important to learn how to play and share together. Here are some photos of Friday afternoon in room 9. We are all sharing, caring and enjoying time together.

We are so lucky to have Mrs Fiona Waite working in room 9 as our learning assistant this year.
Mrs Waite will be working Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday with us.
What a great team we will be!!!

Another award!!!!!!!

We have won yet another award!! Well done room 9 for being the quietest eaters during lunchtime yesterday. (Probably because we all love our food!!!!) 
This week we welcome Alexandra, Sophie and Sam to our room.
