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.

My brothers birthday

My Brothers birthday

On Saturday 14th of June he was turning 13 it was my brothers birthday my brother doesn’t know where we were going but everyone else did so we couldn’t tell him where we were going because he’s always wanted to go where we were going.We were going paint ball cause my brother always wanted to go there.

When we got there all of us were so excited, nervous and happy (my brother) when we got in there my mum asked if me and my cousin wanted to play paint ball and me and my cousin wanted to and didn’t want to at the same time but then when we saw how sore it was but then when we saw inside of the gaming area it was'nt paint the bullets were bb gun bullet’s then me and my cousin said yes so we can play.Then when we said “yes we want to play” then my mum thought that we should wear it then she got two one pieces for me and my cousin cause I was wearing shorts and she just wanted to wear the one pieces cause she was wearing tights and she didn’t want to get hurt.

When we got in our teams New South Wales verses Queens Land.Then Malcume the person that was in charge of the Paint ball place he gave us the mask’s for our protection so the bullets won’t hurt our face.

Malcum told us about the rules that “If you don't want to get shot then you will have to put up your hands so you can cross the middle, If some things wrong with your gun then you will have to come back where you came from to go in the map and There’s flag’s around the place so you will have to pull the rope so it can be your colour blue or red.” You will have to hide from the people and try not to get hit.When we got our guns we were so excited but we couldn't go in yet cause some people were still in there but then when we got in there they warned us not to go in there cause there was a stag for a person and he had to dress in super woman and he had to stand still so they can shoot him.

We had three games of Paint ball it was really fun, hurt full, exciting, funny, it was fun and it was kind of disgusting.My brother had a exciting birthday and he was very tired at the end of the day.Two of the boys sleeping over and we all played play station 3 games one on one we were playing black ops or call of duty on the play station 3, My cousin James kept on winning and killing us on the game he's good cause he plays it every day.

That day was really exciting and tiring cause we were walking around.That day was really sore and I had a good time.Here are some photos about the day.
