Immersion Assembly - Term 3 2014

As I  walked through the gate’s of Pt England I was very excited and I was really looking forward to school, and seeing my school mate’s. The first thing I did was walk straight to my classroom. Then I saw my 2 mate’s Brandon and James. When our teacher came she told us to take our bag’s inside, then line up for Immersion assembly. Our topic for 2014 Term 3 was “Game on”

We walked to the hall and saw that every teacher was dressed up as countries with flag’s on their back’s, it felt like I was walking into a circus act. As we took as seat we saw our te reo  teacher Miss tito, riding her racing bike on the stage. We were listening to the intro song. Then Mr Jacobsen (Our Co-Principle) was our principle because our real principle was in england visiting his daughter. Mr Jacobsen ridden his bike to the front of the hall and said “Welcome to SCHOOL!”

Team 1’s performance was about the Olympic’s and Where all the athlete’s came from. The movie was also funny because they green screened and Mrs george was the queen also she was the star of the movie. At the end all the teacher’s got up one the stage and bowed down, and the also introduced a new teacher. Team 2 Had a movie about the olympic’s too. They were dressed up and very humorous. Everyone laughed and were very shocked to how funny Mrs She was.

Team 3 Did a very funny performance with teacher’s acting and dancing as athlete’s from the Glasgow commonwealth games. Mrs barks was the talker/speech person. They were very funny and their performance was good. Team 4 did a movie and also got the crowd moving and laughing. They were dressed up as they’re colors from their country’s. The Star of the movie was the reggae teacher.

Team 5 was the adventure movie. All teachers in the Team 5 block traveled around the world. Mrs nua traveled to spain, Mrs Squire’s traveled, Mrs Clarke went to New york, Mrs paget went to Atlanta - US, and Mrs Lagitupu stayed in NZ. They all had a adventure over sea’s. Over all, this Immersion assembly was awesome and cool.
