The Immersion Assembly

Immersion Assembly

Early monday morning was the school Immersion assembly, meaning that today was the first day back at school. All of the teachers either made a movie or a live performance.

As I walked into the hall I was excited to find out what our topic for the term was going to be. Playing in the hall on repeat a song that resembled the following “All i do is art”. Some teachers were wearing some creative costumes like a pallet of paint and a hat as a brush.

Team one talked about doing their favourite things, Chocolate and more, they made a video and said all of their favorite things. Team two talked about seasons and how they were going to draw all different things.

Team three are doing Architecture they made a funny video like Grand Designs but it was just a tent.

Out of all 5 performances my favourite was Team 4, their topic is Comics they made a humorous video with super heroes, Bat Guy, Team Leader America, Wondering woman and the Villain Bear Baxendine..

As the team 5 teachers walked up to the stage they were dressed in colors of our House Teams Red(Te Aurere), Blue ( Hine Moana), Green ( Hokulea) and Yellow ( Hikianalia). They all lined up for a race, in the end Hokulea won.

Immersion Assembly

First day of term 4 2015, as usual there's always a immersion assembly at the beginning of the term. Some were still recovering from the holidays.

To start things off Mr Burt made a movie for the beginning of term 4 it was about an annoying bird called a fiapoko (bird), and how it annoying a couple of kids at their own house at point Dingaling. As it annoyed the kids it got so bad that they called the fiapoko exterminators, and the fiapoko exterminators came to the house and the kids showed them to the bird as the exterminators killed the bird. The exterminators took the bird back to the house and put it in the oven, after it was cooked they pulled out a bag of KFC. (In this film no fiapokos were hurt as they were made up).

As we walked into the hall we saw some teachers dressed up in dinosaur masks and tutus. At this moment we didn’t know what our topic was so we were ready for what was to come. It went in order from Team 1 to Team 5. Each team had their own movie. Team 1 is going to the zoo to see how the animals adapt and live in the zoo. And they had a karaoke competition, they chose kids from year 1 to year 8. The prize was a trip to the zoo with team 1.

Team 5’s topic was about adaptation and how others have adapted to the surroundings. The team 5 teachers (Miss Peato, Miss Hockley, Miss Ingrim and Miss Clark) made a game show and the teachers were contestants on the stage, they were having a noodle eating contest but the challenge was to eat it with chopsticks. The first person to eat it all wins, as they got ready to start we could tell who was going to win, As they ate one teacher, Miss Clark was speed ahead as in eating them and it wasn’t long for her to finish the plate. The reason she won so quickly was because of where she was brought up, she was brought up in Tibet a region in China. Which is where people use chopsticks, After she won the other contestants had something to say. They said it wasn't fair since they were from Samoa, Tonga, England and New Zealand, Miss Peato (Samoa) explained that where they're from they don’t use chopsticks.
