Immersion Assembly - as i see it
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.

Fiafia 2k16
As I write this piece of writing I keep wasting time thinking about all the food that I’m going to buy, instead of thinking about the ways to go and which direction my hands need to be in.
Today is Fiafia eve. To be honest I’m not that nervous but I know what I’m like, I’ll act all confident and then when my group gets called I’ll freak out and try to hide. I know I’ll be fine though.
This is my first Fiafia. Well being in a group, for the past three years I have come to watch my best friend Lucy. I always love coming to Fiafia to eat the delicious food that families from the school set up.
The thing that I look forward to buying the most is Cook Island donuts.
This year I chose to be in the Niuean group. I chose the Niuean group because I am Niuean and I knew it would be a small group, and I don’t like being in large groups of children. I am so happy that I chose Niuean group because our dance is sweet and short.
There are many different groups in Fiafia I can’t name them all. Obviously there will be the normal groups like Samoan, Tongan, Kapa Haka, Cook Island and Hip Hop.
The thing that I am looking forward to most is that the girls get to wear lipstick!!! I am a humongous fan of lipstick. My favourite type of lipstick is matte! Which is why I'm going to be wearing my favourite red matte lipstick.
In about an hours time all of the groups will be heading to the court for one big walk through, I think it will be a dress rehearsal. I brought my white shirt and my lipstick today. I am hoping that it will be a full dress rehearsal so I can wear my lipstick. I just have one rule! No one else can wear my lipstick but me.
Today is the real deal. Fiafia is tonight and I’ll be performing on the big stage in front of so many people. My group has already gone through our last run through practice on the stage. I am so looking forward to the food and performances. I am also looking forward to wearing lipstick! As I said before I love lipstick. But today I did get a little bit nervous. All the other girls in my group aren’t really into makeup like I am, they made it sound like it could kill you! Some girls asked Ms Lagitupu if we had to wear lipstick. My heart sank. Ms Lagitupu said “No we’re not wearing makeup!” I replied that Miss Lavakula said the we could. After a little discussion Ms Lagitupu said its alright if we come tonight with a little lippy on as long as it looked neat and tidy. My heart finally rose back up, I was so relieved!
I am pretty calm right now about Fiafia, I know I’ll do great!
