Immersion Assembly

Monday the 2nd of May, We had a immersion assembly at Pt England school it was the first day back at school.It was so tiring coming back to school but we started school with our team 5 assembly and then we headed of to the hall for our immersion assembly And the topic for this term 2 is AS I SEE IT and it was also about art.

First team up was team 1,They had a very good and entertaining movie it was all about what they like and there favourite thing they would like to draw.They also gave some prizes out at the end of their video it was Questions and answers if you got the answer right you would get a prize.

Then it was team 2 turn to go up,what they were doing for there team was learning about seasons and what kind of colours are in winter,summer,autumn and spring. There would be some pretty cool colours in the seasons.

Team 3 done a grand design movie it was really interesting and funny to watch. And what they were learning about is drawing and building like dream houses and and heaps more cool stuff.They had really laughable acting skills my funny bit in there movie was when they were showing us our tour of their tent.

Team 4 was the next team up they done an amusing acting and movie they what they were doing this term was learning about comics and more they had very cool costumes they were the TEACHER VENGERS. The whole act was about a teddy bear stealing bobby’s Chromebook and the teacher avengers saving bobby’s Chromebook and the done some were good acting.and then they started beating up the teddy bear.

Team 5 had the best acting in my thoughts there act was about battle of the waka's so Miss tele’a representing Hine Moana Mrs berry representing Te Aurere Miss Garden Representing Hokule'a and Miss Sadler representing Hikianalia it was so interesting to watch and funny.
