Term 2 Immersion Assembly

I Like to move it move it

Entering the hall with a high expectation for the teachers performances surprisingly there was balloons everywhere lined up perfectly it was a very different immersion assembly to everyone. First up was team 1 there video was of them going to the zoo and they were going to study about the zoo on how things work around the zoo area then Mr Burt announced that it was time for team 2 but first he showed us a picture of a flying house tied to thousands of balloons from the movie Up. So we had a try to see how many balloons would it take to try and carry up a little squishy taxi toy. He tied on the first five and nothing happened everyone was astonished that even with five balloons a little toy car could not float.

So then they tied on another five which made ten we had a breakthrough it floated but then it came back down again everybody scratched their heads in amazement that a little toy car could cause this much effort. So then Mr Burt announced that it was time for another five balloons he suddenly it started to float all the little kids were amazed as they saw something really different. The amazement was gone after a few minutes than Mr Burt quickly said “Team 2 everyone” everybody erupted with happiness. Team 2 came on there theme was airplanes in how they work and what they need in order to work. As team 2 was coming off Mr Burt interrupted and started throwing little squishy rugby balls towards us.  

Jumping everywhere everybody wanted a ball but there was only a little amount so when all the balls were gone there were no more. “Its time for Team 3” shouted Mr Burt. We all cheered and clapped them as they went on the stage, They were dressed in many different colours green red blue yellow they were almost the rainbow their theme for the term was about colours to reflect onto other colours to see a different colour. “Confused” Mrs Barks said everybody sat in silence as they were confused. Than Mr Burt interrupted again and started throwing more squishy white rugby balls.

The teachers of team 3 quickly hopped off and went to their seats “Its time for ?” yelled Mr Burt “Team 4” everybody shouted back team 4 confidently walked on the stage with pirate costumes and fishermen gear their video was about buoyancy and how water works in many different ways and how stuff can float. “Teaaaaam 5” screamed Mr Burt team 5 quickly ran to the front of the stage with weird things suddenly they blowed banged and threw things and they made noises all the little kids were amazed it was like a very own teacher school band. The end music played and off everyone went to their class.

Immersion Assembly

Sitting on the ground I was half asleep as the music banged into my ears there was a sudden shock. As immersion assembly commenced it was a speech from Mr J. He shouted loud and proud “are you ready Team one’’ he said “Yes” the year ones shrieked . The movie started it was amazing as we got to see the greatest New Zealand athletes that participated in the olympics. The movie ended with the words 'go for gold' that is the topic for this term.


As Team one finished are you ready Team 2 we were shocked when he said it because we were still applauding like crazy. We glared at the movie on the big screen the coldness was surrounding the hall the movie dashing up the stairs. Mrs Barks and her team they were all over the place they were great though. Finally Team three began with a big bang  it was so great with Miss Walters and other teachers I loved it they were the best so far. Then it was Team four we screamed and clapped it was like a herd of animals.

I felt that it was the best ever immersion assembly for me and Team four was the best because they had heaps of funny moments and heaps of time to fill in extra bits and details. I really loved it, it was fantastic. Mr S. was a synchronised swimmer that liked to hook fish. Walking back to class the Immersion assembly was great.

From Immersion Assembly Term 4 2011

Outta this world was the topic for the term it was time we had something to do about space.

We strolled down the corridor as we entered the hall it was fantastic as we walked by the
teachers with costumes. The whole school just stood there and starred but when came to cheering they were like a flock of animals. Team ones item finished and it was time for the next item team two.

Team two’s item was a rap about mars and all the other planets. They were dancing like robots there were space helmets and wigs and other costumes.
Mr Burt told us stories about Maui and some constellations in the stars. He told us about Manaiakilani how Maui caught the biggest fish and about Kupe.

Team fours item was twinkle twinkle little star with the wiggles Mr Marks and Mr Sommerville were dressed up as girls with little pom poms and tutus we were laughing loudly. As they almost stumbled to the floor as they ran and jumped it was like a train wreck they were all over the place.

I am really looking forward to the term ahead of us.
