Immersion Assembly

Immersion Assembly

This morning all of our school went to assembly. Our topic for the term is Game On, all of the teachers has an item. Mr Jacobson told us and showed us two videos some were played in slow motion. On the stage was Miss Tito riding on a bike but the bike had the break in the front of the bike.

Team 1, they first played a video. The video was all about Commonwealth game. The teachers in team 1 were representing their country. So they were racing each other, even in different sports. Then the queen came along and told then some stuff about the Commonwealth games.

Meanwhile it was team 2 turn, they first did netball and they were participating in their team, Then they weren't in there groups. Since they were in the Commonwealth games they played all different sports. Like Javelin, Running, and Shot Put. Also Miss Mackendly a teacher has came back from years ago.

Then team 3 were doing sculptures out of mash potato. Miss Lavakula was too pretty to touch it or even make a sculpture. But one teacher got disqualified. Then they moved on to Shot Put and Miss Lavakula and Miss Ouano were too focused on the hands and they’re nails.

Then team it was time for team 4. They first played a movie about girls doing gymnastics. The team 4 teachers came up and did their moves and competed in Commonwealth games. They were all being a gymnast they had ribbons and hula hoops they also were trying to do the split. In real life I don't think they will get in Commonwealth games.

Team 5 played a movie, most of those teachers went to different countries. Miss Nua went to Spain to find out what they country does for a life. Miss Clark went to New York and found out lots of information that they do, and she saw Kim Kardashian and took a photo of her. Miss Quires went to Peru to find out that they play lots of Soccer/Football. Miss Tito went to Samoa just to visit the beautiful island and found out stuff about Samoa.

Future Aspiration

This morning all seniors went to the street/class 1 and some special visitors were coming named, Jason, Alfred, Arizona, and Andrew. The Visitor arrived while we were singing Mihi Marae with Shane playing the guitar. A man named Andrew introduced himself to us and he told us what he does in a everyday life. He told us that he was going to America in a week with 12 students from Tamaki College, They are visiting Google, Apple, Microsoft, and lots more..

After everyone's speech there was a particular girl that I was inspired named Arizona Legar. she told us what her Aspiration was. She was just a typical girl that chats all the time., she always got told off by the teacher. She got put at one of the leaders but she didn’t know why? She asked her teacher and her teacher told her that she talks a lot. Then she moved schools and she got put as another leader. Once again she asked the teacher why, because you talk lots. Then she told us the quotes numbers.

1 tahi do your mahi, do your work, 2 lua today you are you, that is truer than true there is no one is alive that is youer than you. 3 to sun. 4 break down the door. 5 strive to stay alive. Then after they all stopped talking and we all left some group of girls went to ask Arizona some questions.

I think that it helped me I think that now I should stop following my friends and do I want to do and meant to do. Now I understand that if you don't want to go with your friends you can enjoy what you want.

Class 5 Swimming

Swimming

Class 5 went down to the pools, starting from tuesday to friday. When we arrived at the pools we all got dressed into our togs and we had a quick rinse. I saw the amount of how many people that were swimming there were 11 people. After all that 2 people went at a time and started our training to get into a group. We all did backstrokes and free style. We all got put into groups.

The next 2 days later we got into our groups and started doing our lessons but since Miss Paget wasn’t here we had a reliever Miss Gamarlee. We did backstrokes and relays. We started using our board and do strokes. Then we did side strokes and streamlines. Then we went got dressed and went off.

Finally the last day of swimming I thought. We got changed and we were getting trained by a swimming instructor. We were doing lots of different things like backstrokes, relays, streamlines, and using our boards but no diving or bombing. We were swimming with our arms behind our ears but using a board, but the instructor said no breathing. But how ever we didn’t get enough time to have freestyles.

AFL Class 5

AFL

Two weeks ago class five and I were going to AFL. AFL is a sport named the, Australian Football League. When we first started going to AFL we started practising the drop punt. But make sure you keep the laces away from faces. So you have the ball placed in your hands and you put the laces part of the ball facing your way and kick it. Really easy.

Yesterday, Wed, June 19

We went again to AFL and we first started off with a warm up. So what we did was we got a partner and there were spider man and batman, I was in the batman group. I got a ball and my partner had to run away before I hit her with the ball, but doing the hand pump. It was hard

Plant & Food Research Science Visit

Three people from Plant & Food Research named Jacob, Laura, and Lara came to Pt England School to do some science. What they do for a living is science obviously, they look and test fruit and veggies to make sure it’s not sour but sweet. They all had to go to university and learn more ways find new stuff, earthquake's just to make us safe everyday.

First experiment they showed us cabbage that had been dissolved then it turned purple. What if you can mix some green stuff with the purple cabbage. They asked if you mix it would you get a green or red color. It turned out to red because Purple + Green = Red.

Eventually it was a acid.

Meanwhile they pulled out dry ice. But they had where gloves for protection because if you touch it with your hands you will probably burn you’ll hands off. They got some room temperature water into a bowl and put some dry ice into it. It was like a white volcano erupting but it was foam. Soon they got some dish washing liquid and put the dry ice in. It was erupting with bubbles now it was bubbles.

The very last experiment was a solid and liquid. They got some and mixed it with the color green dye and some stuff that looked like milk. Mixed it all and then the knife came up with lumpy gruesome stuff and who ever had a question gets some. They started throwing it at people, and not directly at the face but at them.

After all of the cool experiments they had some more questions that means more lumpy stuff for them. After all the cool things that were going on we ask what made them get into Science. They said that they got interested into science because their friends. Then after all the cool experiments they went.
