Immersion Assembly !
Yesterday was the first day of term 4 .I had to watch the assembly on my chrome book because Auckland New zealand , is still in level 3 lockdown .Every term we always have a different theme and topic .This term is term 4 the blast term isn't that gone fast , well the theme for this term is Ta Tatou korero , Ta tatou whirigna , which translates in english to our voice our choice.Every team leader and teachers either make a film or act out a play but since we are in lockdown we have to do it online .We start from the youngest team which is team 1 the year 1’s and 2 .
Team items
Starting off with Team 1 , they are going to be investigating what group they belong to and they are going to find ways on how they can be awesome members of that group.They are going to be kind to each other and fill others buckets of others including them.You can fill your bucket with happiness and other emotions.It's time for team 2 !
Team two is learning how to be responsible at home and in school by helping out your friends and family .Also they are learning how they can belong to groups like in a family,school,community and many more .How can you help in the community ? you can start scanning in with the covid QR scanner to keep track of where you're going.Next up Team 3 !
They are learning about sometimes what you want isn't what you need.Sometimes you don't know what you need ?.This term team 3 is going to be experiencing their wants and needs.what team is next ? Drumroll please for team 4 !, This term team 4 will be learning about their identity and where they belong in a group also what they need to do in that grouplike a family.You can belong in a family by being a sister,brother,cousin,aunty,uncle,and many more.Team 4 is trying to find out who are they and where do they belong.Now it’s time for the best team of them all Team 5 !! This term team five will be learning about not believing everything that is on social media and that they need to check if they are actually true.Also that Ta Tatou korero ta tatou kowhiringa is what team 5 teachers are letting us decide more often.
So this term is going to be a lot of fun. I cant wait and I love the theme, our voice, our choice thank you point English teachers and staff.
Last day of Term 3 2021 !
This week is week 10 which means it's the last day of term because there is only 2 months and 2 weeks in a term in other sayings, 10 weeks.It sort of not the same why ? It's because it's the end of the term but we aren't in school. Because of the lock down level 3 , my school is in Auckland, the state in lockdown sadly.But just because we are still in lockdown doesn't mean we don't get to go to school or we don't have school our prime minister has said to us that we could do online school , I don't like online school but at least it's something. Some of the children are missing out because they either can't focus at home or don't have wifi or a device which really sucks.This morning I had hopped on my chromebook and started to join my team assembly which is at 9:00 am .On the call the teachers said good morning and my school has this thing called gm for gm which is when you show kindness and respect gm for gm stands for good manners for google meets turning camera on and microphones when needed.Team 5 was doing the karakia and mihi then the teachers were having a dance party and then we played a Kahoot that one of the student’s have made, (thank you Brendon).We had played and given out prizes which actually get delivered to our house by the teachers they put it in the mailbox.After I had left that call I joined the live school assembly , to see who had gotten the school certificates and see the notices .Then we had electives I picked art , we had drawn some amazing things but being at school would have been better.But I would just like to say a huge thank you to all of my teachers for their hard work throughout this term.
Yesterday on the second day of term 2 team 5 which is a group of year 7 and 8 children had gotten invited to the Aggs(Auckland girls grammar) production.In the morning of the of the production we had watched a movie named footloose because that is what the act is going to be about.Some of the characters were boys which go to St Pauls which is near Aggs.Ms Telea the team leader of team 5 had announced that one of the clases had to share a buss with St Patricks.As we were about to leave Mrs Telea said wait let's do a prayer it was so that we are protected and that everything goes well.On the way to Aggs there was a lot of noise on the bus there was boys screaming and girls trying to get comfortable to sleep,and people looking out the window.We had finally arrived at Aggs me and the group of people that I was with had to get into 4 lines and we had gotten guided into the theater there was about 4 instructors which was very help ful.When we had entered the theater there was about 2 schools already in there , we had to wait until everyone was seated and so that the show could begin.’’ here's a tip when it goes dark don't be afraid just clap it manners ‘’ that's what is one thing that i learnt.The show was like you were teleported back into 1982 the backup dances were wearing bright colours and the main characters were wearing fancy rich clothes.There was a little break after the part that they had all beld down one of the boys from team 5 had stood up and said a thank you speech then my school had stood up and sang a Samoan song called Faafetai Iesu.I would like to thank the staff that had organised this and for the Aggs and St Paul student who took there time to do this for my school and show us what performing art is like.
Yesterday -it was a busy day , some people where going to sports and to a rest home to sing some waiata. I didn't go to any of the event that was happening.I stayed at school and did some school work was it kind of fun which was surprising. First we had literacy with our reliever Mr Selby he was very strict he would say '' sit next to some one who wouldn't distract you''.We did this other writing task ,which was when you had to do six sentences for three pictures so I had the idea to do 2 sentences for all three of the pictures was , a new picture which is a team I don't support ,another one was a restaurant that goes by the name Denny's and the lucky last a ruler.I was working with some girls on my table and we were going to share ideas.Then it was already time to share but then it became time to go to our home class.
When we went to our home class it was time for morning tea ,room 5 and 4 math classes had to get split into each classes because they didnt have any teacher but luckly team 5 can manage anything.Afther morning tea we did some maths my math work was about measurements ,I had went and made a video with two year 7's we did so many clips but finally we had got the video without any mistakes we went inside and it was time for lunch.My school gets free lunches now and the lunch yesterday was a samwhich with a anzac cookie and a juicy apple.
Afther lunch we went inside of the street to do the prayer time we sang Fafetai Iesu.We all got sent back to class to go and do some cyber smart.I had completed the task and then it was time to go home then the kpmg had came home but the people from sport didnt come back untill 3 oclock as I got told by the sport people.The day was a seceded in my opinion.
Dear Micheal,
It's been about 3 years without seeing you but I can't wait to see how much you have changed I hope your still mean.But I cant believe that I'm going to say this but I really miss you but Im doing my best to represent our family and our country.The food here isn't as good as the food at home.Today I had nearly got shot but luckily I didn't and I had shot that person from higher ground just like you had taught me on how to defend myself .I hope that when I come back home well I hope we can still play rough game of rugby together.
Speaking of the food here it is just a minimal amount of food.If you had came with me you would have said ‘’what kind of food is this ‘’, I would just laugh but you already know that we would just eat because if we would starve we could probably not even survive.But the food over here that everyone gets is a hard biscuit,some canned corn beef and some jam,onions and some disgusting tea with a side of cheese but yeah it's pretty alright once you get used to it.Hey did I mention that the sleeping space isn't as comfortable as your soft bed. It's so crowded that you have to sit up while sleeping. There's no blanket and pillows to keep you warm, it's just normal having nothing to sleep with.
All the time when you are trying to sleep all you hear are gun fires but did you know that your best friend Leni had joined and had asked if you joined but yeah hope all the best for you and the family over their stay safe and can't wait to see you guys.
Your sincerely
Jasmine
Today team 5 had an cession about addatuide talk with an company called addatuide. Ms Iloa had said '' good morning Team 5 today,we are having a addituide talk with Jema so let me hand it over to her''.We had first started by saying hello to Jema and she had told us that a cow had pooped on her when she was telling us of what pet we will be by our personality.And she also had told use about our personality we also played some games like pineapple.The game pineapple is when you have to put your finger on the person next you's palm.
Here is an picture that one of our teacher Ms Stone had taken during the sesion.
