There is nothing as effective as “learning by doing”. Our in-role discovery workshops offer students the opportunity to travel back in time and play a part in the past. Sessions are sensitively run by educators experienced in drama based education and incorporate an introduction, role play activities and reflection during and at the end of the session. After one such session a class teacher reported that it was “the best LEOTC experience she had ever had”.
Currently we offer three drama based programmes:

Back to School enables students to explore change over the last 100-120 years. Students will experience life as a student, (in-role with a MOTAT Educator), in the Victoria era in our authentic Victorian School house and in the Victorian Village. Students will dress up in costumes supplied by MOTAT and interact with a ‘teacher from the past’. The session includes time for reflection and comparison between modern school life and the past. The workshop is linked to a self guided trail around the museum to enable students to further compare and contrast changes in technology and society.
I learned that teachers caned children if they wrote with their left hand. Writing with a feather or a slate pencil was really hard. I like my pencil best!” Toni
Who was Richard Pearse? The educator will guide students through a drama/in-role enquiry process to find out more about New Zealand's own innovative pioneer. Students will drop into Richard Pearse’s world as trainee reporters. A self-guided trail will provide background about Early Aviation in New Zealand. Explore the exhibition devoted to Richard Pearse and examine his incredible third aircraft. Find out about other pioneering spirits in New Zealand aviation, including Jean Batten and the Walsh brothers.
“We learned heaps about Richard Pearse… I was fascinated about the planes Richard Pearse invented and the way Jean Batten flew solo to England…” Mariel
How has life changed? What difference can I make? You and your students will step back in time with our educators in the roles of new settlers to discover some of the issues facing early settlers and take a stand on the call for change. The time is 1874.
Water supply is an important issue for the Tangata Whenua as well as for new settlers to Auckland; unlike many new cities, Auckland is not situated on a major river. People have to make do with sourcing water from small creeks, hand dug wells and what they could collect from the roof. Another issueis disposal of sewage and waste water. As the community has grown, the problems increase.
Use the Victorian Village self-guided trail to compliment the programme. Visit the cottages and see for yourself the way people lived during the colonial period.
“To know what it is like is one thing but to experience it is another. It’s amazing the school, the homes right down to the weird toilet, and washing the clothes” Litia
