On Wednesday we piled onto the green buses and headed for MOTAT with the rest of the senior school.
Our main learning focus was World War One and the technologies they used during the war for communication. We also learned all about the early technology that people used... learning about this this allowed us to think about where we were and where we are now. It's amazing that the seemingly simple technology from the olden days has led us to today.
For example, running water. At MOTAT we went to the Pumphouse. One of the first technologies in New Zealand that allowed for transport of water to villages. Before that, people had to take a bucket to a nearby stream, while nowadays we can just turn on a tap in our house.
