Morning Tea

We will have morning tea and then leave our bags in our meeting space so we don't have to carry them around all day. We will come back here later to have lunch and meet up with our educator again.

Pumphouse

Noisy

Sometimes MOTAT can be a bit noisy. We might hear a loud steam whistle from the pumphouse, or a siren from the Little Flick fire engine ride.

Classroom

Our Classroom

When it’s time for our classroom session our educator will meet us at our meeting space and show us the way to the classroom.

We will sit on the mat and talk about what we're going to do. Then we will get to look at the items in the classroom and do some activities.
