Term 3 - Immersion assembly

Since today is the first day of a new term the whole school gathered for an immersion assembly. The main topic for this term is 'healthy me, healthy you' so we will be focusing on our health.
Out of all the performances my favourite was the one our team 5 teachers did. They made they're very own Olympics on stage, and entertained everyone. The other performances were just as good and explanatory. 

The countries that we had participate in our team 5 Olympics were U.S.A, Australia and of course New Zealand. The first performance was by Australia (Miss Hill) her score was a 2 and 3, but although she failed she gave us a reflection on how she could improve which is one of the reasons its my favourite. There's always something you can improve so keep trying. :)  

Every teams focus is very similar, with the main focus being our bodies and keeping ourselves happy and healthy.  

Immersion Assembly - Term 2

We're back to school for Term 2, and we started it with an amazing Immersion Assembly! The teachers themselves produced the plays, slides and videos they presented. Everything each Team's teachers presented revolved around the topic of space, since this term's topic is 'Watch this space'. 

Team 5's teacher's put on an interesting and informative play. They based it on 'the magic school bus' and went to a few planets. Each planet they visited they told us a few facts too, like Jupiter has 79 moons or Mercury is the hottest planet. Some of the facts they told I already knew but it was a good little refresher. In fact I'm honestly quite intrigued and excited to learn about this! :) 

The other team's also have interesting things to learn about I hope they enjoy it. I can't forget about the teacher's too, they all did a good job with their little performances.  

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.
