Immersion Assembly - as i see it

Term 2, first day back at school. Speeding into the hall straight away seeing Mr Jacobsen wearing a humongous paint palette and a giant paint brush hat. I knew that it was going to be an awesome assembly.

To kick off the assembly the Team 1 teachers played a movie about all of their favourite things. The song they played in the background really suited Team 1’s focus for this term, their song was Favourite Things sung by Julie Andrews.

After the movie Ms George gave out mouth watering chocolates to children who could remember a few of the things that the teachers liked.

Team 2’s item reminded me of all of the seasons. This term Team 2 is looking at the different seasons. Each class will focus on one season.

Team 3’s item was the second best. Team 3 had a movie based on the show Grand Designs. It showed the teachers out on the patch of grass outside Room 3 putting up their dream house (A tent) Mr Blakely was playing the role of the man who interviews the people building houses. The rest of the Team 3 teachers were playing the owner of the house (The tent) A conversation about architecture started, that’s when Team 3 introduced their topic for this term. Architecture.

Team 4 is going to have a blast this term with the Teacher-vengers! Team 4 made a comic book type movie as their focus this term is making comics. Team 4’s movie was a creative piece of work that made everyone laugh and giggle. I know that Team 4 will be making some pretty awesome comics this term.

To finish off the Immersion Assembly Team 5 had our item about the 4 waka. The 4 waka are our school houses Hokule’a, Hikianalia, Hine Moana and Te Aurere. Each teacher represented their house as they had a race across the stage in each of their made up waka. Mrs Tele’a represented Hine Moana and was wearing a fruit box while making tiny baby steps to get to the other side of the stage. Miss Berry represented Te Aurere with a small paddle and tried to scoot on her butt to the other side. Ms Saddler represented Hikianalia and used a sheep skin carpet and tried to push the carpet along the way while she was on it. Ms Garden had a jumping sack that she hopped all the way to the other side before Mrs Tele’a.

The immersion assembly was full with many laughs and awesome costumes. I am excited for the term of art and creativity ahead. Our term topic as i see it is going to be an awesome topic.
