Motat

On Thursday the therteenth of June 2008 the senior people at pt England school which is room 15,16,17 and 18 went on a trip together to motat to learn lots of things about flight.We went into the museum and we saw Richard Pearse's plane.When i saw Richard Peares's plane it looked like a bird. It looked like it was made of bamboo sticks,three thin wheels,and old metals that were orange.It also had lots of pipes and wires hanging all over the place.It looked very 0ld and rusty. It looked like a statue.After we looked at the richard pearse's and Jean batterns display we went to the handson area.In the handson area you can touch and play with any thing you want to.In the handson area it had a spinner.The spinner was something that you hop on.I got very dizzy and nearly fell off it.It also had a mirror maze.The mirror maze was so cool because there were mirrors everywhere.I kept on knocking my head on the mirrors.Room15 was getting all excited about the mirror maze.It was a long and cool mirror maze because you had to find your way out.After that we went on a tram ride.I liked the tram ride because the ride was really smooth,slow and comfortable.We finally got to motat two.The person who owend motat two was some body called Frazear.We went in and as soon as i walked in i felt like saying "Wow" well any way i did say that because there were lots of Incredible planes.They were huge.Frazear said people use to fly them many many years ago.He even told us how they flew them and how they use to work in their days.The people who use to fly the planes and helicopters in motat two were famous plane flyers.We also made a wing out of straw,a hole clipper,cellotape,string and white blank paper.When we had finished making them we tried them out in the green tunnel that had a fan so it could blow the wing to produce lift,weight,thrust and drag to see what will happen.We tried them in the tunnel.My wing was spinning around on the string and it looked like a real plane wing.We went to go and look around on the other side of the museum so we did. We also took photo's of the helicopters, planes and art they had there.We finaly left on the bus back to school.
