Immersion Assembly Term 3

Term 3 Immersion Assembly

On Monday It was back to school day when we come back from school holidays then when we always have a Immersion assembly when we come back so we can know what our topic for this term. Our topic is all about the Commonwealth Games and the main big name is “GAME ON!”.

Team 1 were the first team to perform. First they played a movie and then they got up on the stage. The teachers were wearing things from the country that they come from. Mrs Lal was wearing a Fijian T-shirt, Mrs Wild was wearing the New Zealand flag as a cap Miss Rapold, Ms Dwyer and Ms George. They were talking about other countries that will compete against other nations.

Team 2 they did a movie first then when the movie when the movie finished they ran to the front of the stage and put the trophy up and then they had to touch it like they were in a team and they won. One of the teachers came before to this school and then came back her name was Mrs. Mackinley.

Team 3 they did a movie about gymnastics people. In the movie was girls being flexible and then when they went on the stage all of them were all dressed up in toto’s and the teachers they had Ribbons and hula hoops. They try to do what they were doing.

Team 4 invented a new activity to be in the commonwealth games, it was mash potato sculpting the teachers pretended to be other country’s: Mrs.Lavukula was India, Mr. Goodwin was Jamica, Mrs. Garden was Cook Islands and Mrs. Ouano was and Mr.Summerville was South Africa Mrs. Jacobson was the Referee. Mr summerville got out straight away cause his sportsmanship was really bad.

Tema 5 we showed a Movie about where the team 5 teachers went in the holidays Mrs. Nua went to Spain, Mrs. Squires went to Peru, Mrs. Clark went to New York and saw Kim Kardashian, Mrs Paget went to Atlanta U.S.A.

It was really exciting for me to come back to school.
