Immersion Assembly - T3 2019

Walt: write a recount

Have you ever wondered what your topic for term 3 was? Well here is my recount about our amazing start to Term 3. ‘ Something In The Water ’. 

Entering Assembly
Hearing the funky music and sniffing up a familiar smell made me wonder? If this term’s topic is something in the water does that mean SEAFOOD! Surely enough our Senior Management Team were cooking up a storm of seafood on the Barbeque grillers. As we walk in and take a seat, my stomach starts to growl. “ I need seafood, I need seafood, cos I love seafood ”. 

Introduction
Thinking about what each team had planned for there students, made me excited. I couldn't wait the hear and see what each team will be doing this term. Especially team 5. 

Team 1,3 and 4 - Movies
The first movie was shared but the Team 1 Teachers (aka: The S.O.F.A Team = Solutions for Animals) There movie was mostly targeted at the Year 1 students. The movie contained phone calls, underwater exploring and helping endangered animals. The S.O.F.A Team set on a quest the find out more about the sea life creatures and then study them. But they needed our help to help them solve the mystery?

Our next movie was put together by our Team 3 Teachers. This movie was aimed mostly at the Year 3 and 4’s, but also everyone else. In the movie the group of Team 3 Teacher's + Miss Ramona created include, all sorts of sea life creature and a Miss Romona. Their movie shows Miss Ramona ask a bunch of sea life creatures, such as eels, stingrays, sharks, and dolphins. Miss Ramona set on a quest to find the perfect buddy to pair up with the help keep all sea creatures happy and safe. Lucky she found the ideal sea creature, to help protect our moana and awa’s. 

Our next movie was shared  from the Team 4 Teachers. There movie was all about chain that goes on in the sea. First it starts off with spotting a plankton. The plankton gets eaten by the mussel, the mussel gets eaten by the crab, then the crab gets eaten by a seagull and the human eats the seagull. But...what do you think ate the human… If you guessed SHARK then you are right. 

Favourites
If you are wondering why I didn’t explain what Team 2 and 5’s act/movie was about is, because they were my 2 favourite teams. Team 2’s movie shared all the teachers at the Tahuna Torea Reserve, exploring the bush and rocky shores. They also got to feed the ducks that were in the small pond that is about 5-6 metres away from Wai O Taiki Bay. The funniest parts were all one Miss Moran. First she complains about going all the way to Tahuna Torea Reserve and then says she needed a scooter. At the very end of the video Miss Moran asks Mrs Carter for her phone to call UBER to KFC.

My next highlight was Team 5’s awesome act/song. The shared a song that talked about what’s in a Cell. It Starts off with Cell then, Nucleus in the Cell, the Chromosomes in the Nucleus that’s in the Cell, then DNA that’s in the Chromosomes that’s in the Nucleus that lives in a Cell. The Gene that’s in the DNA that lives in the Chromosomes that’s in the Nucleus that lives in the Cell. At the every end they say “ How are all living things connected? ”.

Overall I thought every team had created amazing videos and performances. I am really looking forward to this Term 3’s topic. I also hope we get to eat more seafood later on this term. ‘SOMETHING IN THE WATER!’.

Task description: For this task we had to complete the presentation above. The presentation included measurement questions the had cm, mm, ml, l, m, km and .ext. Slide 4 and 6 where all about finding the perimeter and area of all the following shapes. Slide 7 was also about find the area but using a special technique, called 'pi'. Really all we had to do was time the radius by itself then times it by pi.
