Immersion Assembly Term 3

Its the start of term 3 and as always we have an Immersion Assembly.

Our Immersion Assembly is when all the teams make a video or perform for us.

Our topic was game on, There were bikes on the stage and Mrs Tito riding a bike.

Team 1 had a movie about some of the countries that are in the commonwealth

New Zealand was in it, Canada, Fiji, South Africa and more but there was america.

The queen was having a talk and said See if all the countries were the right ones to qualify. But the queen saw america in it and America isn't in the commonwealth so they change it to Samoa.

Team 2 had a video it showed us some athletes competing in different sports.

They showed us the Javelin Throw, Shot Put Throw, Netball and 100 meter sprint.

After the movie came up onto the stage with some netball things and holding a golden trophy.

It was Team 3 time It was girly so I didn't like it, but it was about a sport that only girls did it was Rhythmic Gymnastics.They showed us a video of woman doing Rhythmic Gymnastics they were pretty flexible a good at catching. Next they came up and the teachers try to do Rhythmic Gymnastics but they were failing and only doing small tricks.

Team 4 had a funny one, they had a potato sculpture challenge.

First they showed the contenders there was the Cook Islands, Jamaica, Canada and I forgot the rest.First they all got a plate of potato then one of the teachers counted down 321. They started and It was hard to know how was going to win but it was Jamaica.

It was time for team 5 the last team they had a movie about the placing they went to in the holidays. The first one was Mrs Nua she went to Spain and showed some pictures of some of the buildings they saw. The next one was Mrs Squires She went to Chile and showed us some pictures of the land. After that was Mrs Clark she went to New York and took some pictures of what she did then she made a video interviewing a person. Next was Mrs Paget She went to Atlanta and show Pictures of the blue angles and thousand of people on the beach. Then there was Mrs Tito she was relaxing in a little lake. The last person was Mrs Slade she went to Fiji and Interviewed some kids.

Plant and fruit

Today we were lucky to have some scientist come to our school.

They came here to show some experiments, there were 3 people there names were lura Lara and Jacob. we had it in the street so we could just go next door.

After that they ask everyone if they knew what acid is and base, I didn't know what it was and no else did. They got out some cabbage juice it was purple they also pulled out vinegar and mrs muscle. When they mixed the cabbage juice and the vinegar together the cabbage juice won and it stayed the same colour. They did this to see what one has the most acid and base. The one with the most acid will take over and change colour but the cabbage juice stay the same colour.

Next they pull out dry ice and said that if you touch it with your hands it would probably burn it

thats why they used gloves. The man Jacob grab a handful of ice and put it in jug full of water it produced lots of gas. Next they put some bubbles into the water they ask us what's your hypothesis They put the dry ice into the water and it was like a volcano it was coming out for ages.

The last experiment was about solids It was cool they got some pva then put some water in it so it was watery. Next they show us a old cleaning product I forgot the name. After that they got the cleaning product and tip some of it into the pva. Next they they put some food colouring in it they put the colour green. When they put there hands in it, some gange  stuff came out It look cool and they even gave us some. It felt weird but It was still cool.

Future Aspiration

Today we had so future aspiration people come to our school.

There were 4 people Andrew, Mrs shama, Arizona, Alfred they were here to inspire us so we make good choices in the future. Andrew was a radio person, Mrs Shama was a maths teacher at tamaki college, Arizona was at university to be a journalist and alfred was a police officer.

My favourite aspiration was Arizona she talk about her dream and what her life was like.

She said tahi the mahi that was do the work. The second one was a quote for Doctor Seuss it says “Today youer are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you”

The third one was san, It was have some fun. The fourth one was bang down the door and the last one was five strive to stay alive.

I think that thought to me to work harder in learning and get my grades up.

I need to be more confident, have more fun and strive to strive to stay alive.

Understanding sound

AFL

This term we get to learn how to play AFL, on the first day we learnt the drop punt but I already knew how to do it because we did it last year. If you want to do a drop punt you have to know the 3 rules. There are laces away from faces, point your toes in the direction you want the ball to go and hold the ball with your hands on the top. If you know those 3 rules you can be able to do a drop punt.

The tutor said we have to find a buddy and find a space to kick the ball to each other.

It was easy and fun but sometimes my buddy will kick the ball in a different direction so I would have to run and get the ball. After that we got to play a game, we had to drop punt the ball over the river, If it touched the ground then you get a point if someone catches it they don't get a point, sadly our team lost, but I still enjoyed it.

Swimming

Swimming

This term we got to go swimming with my class. Im in class 5. We have to go swimming so we can survive in the water and don’t drown. We swim at the YMCA pools its just down the street from our school so we can just walk there. When we got to the pools on the first day we had to be split into 2 group there were called 1 and 2. Im in group 2 so I was in the middle pool.

First we had to get a board and kick our legs to the other side, I wasn't tied because we got to keep our head, we had to that 4 times before the next one. After that we did the same thing but hands were at the bottom of the board and we had to put our head down, we had to do that four times as well. We next did free style and we had to do it four times, thats when I got tied.

We finally got to kick on my back I was fast at it But we had to do that 4 times as well.

Next I had to do backstroke I was pretty fast at that we did that 4 times as well. My legs started to get saw and my arms I wished it finished, Then the instructor said ok were finished then we had to go get dressed.

At the end of the day I was happy and like swimming.
