Immersion Assembly Term 3

On the first day back at school for term 3, the we found out what our theme for this term's inquiry is. Our theme is 'A World of difference'. At the Immersion Assembly Mr Burt and a few other teachers, like Mr Somervile told us a bit about their culture, or family history. The other teachers, the teachers who didn't share something about themselves (most of the teachers) showed us what each team will be doing for the term. We will basically be learning about different countries, places, culture, foods etc, from all around the world, or from right here in NZ.

Team 1 had a movie to display what they would be doing for A World of difference. It was about children wondering how other kids in the world get to school, or what they eat for lunch, or what they like to do after school.

Team 2 recreated Dora the explorer in New Zealand. Dora and Boots, had to travel though out New Zealand to get to Queensland. Thanks to the help of Dora's handy map they made it to their destination, and went skiing with the ski's backpack gave Dora.

Team 3 had their very own episode of the amazing race. They stopped at each of the seven wonders of the world. I assume that Team 3 are going to be having their own fun little race around the world though their research. 

Team 4's movie had a lot of food involved in it. The movie was about where the food they were eating originally came from, one of the examples was sushi and the fact that is originated from Japan. They had many delicious foods from different places.

Team 5's item was different from the others. The teachers put on a little play. The play was of the legend of Sina and the eel. Mrs Iloa acted as Sina, and Mrs Tele'a played the roll of the eel. They acted that out because we are learning about myths and legends. It was a very entertaining show! That's one of the reasons why it's my favourite item's that day.

Paul Bunyan

We recently looked at another myth. This time we looked at a Tall Tale from America. This story, is about a lumberjack who is really tall and has done many great things. This includes the creation of many great land marks, like the Grand Canyon, Great Lakes and 10,000 lakes! Me and my buddy, Zaeeda worked together to complete this work task, on Paul Bunyan. We found this quite interesting and a bit difficult, but we made it in the end.
