Immersion Assembly Term 3 !

Every year at Pt England School when a new term starts we have an Immersion Assembly. Every Team shows a clip or act out what they will be learning this term ! This terms topic is based on Trade & Enterpri$e. All based on ways to spend money or how to save money.

Team one will be learning about how to earn money so they will be doing jobs to earn money and buying things to open a store in their classroon $$ !! They also used the markets as an example because you see lots of people spending money on food. clothes, home appliances and more ...

Team two will be learning the most common Ice cream flavours for example if their were 15 kids and only 11 kids liked cookies and cream and 4 kids liked caramel the company should focus on spending more money on making the common flavour instead of wasting money on flavours that is not usually bought by people.

Team three is learning about making good courier choices. They had a few people up on stage and asked them what they wanted to be when they grow up. They are learning to look for the company who pays more and the company who dosen't.

Team four is learning about the emotions you get when you are given money. So emotions you get is that you should find the person who lost their money or keep it or spend it ??

Last but not least team 5 is learning how to be financially responsible. How to be money wise and to also save or spend on the things we need instead of want. So we are leaning about Quality vs quantity.

Poem for Anzac Soldiers

The soldiers were training and practising for war

They left their homes to serve our country and more.

It lasted over 4 years 16 million died

world war 1 and world war 2 are the reason people cry.

Many families cried for more than 8 hours for they lost their most precious one who was so joyful  as flowers

. Children lost their dads they most certainly weren't glad

for there was no one to buy them sweets or

the opportunity to be together and hear the birds tweet

children and families now grew up really tight but they are still missing their father the touching piece of their life

There life puzzle will still  be missing that lost piece but they are ready to move on and start their own family

At the morning sunrise to the end of the sunset lest we forget.

Why Owls Stare ?

There once were 2 friends named Owl and Pigeon. They used to sit on a tree and watch the sunrise together. They would talk about who could fly faster or who was better at something. Day after day they did the same thing, but Owl wanted to talk about something else. One day he said “There are more Owls than Pigeons” “NO there are more Pigeons than Owls” Pigeon replied. They argued for a long time until they had an agreement that all Pigeons and Owls would meet at the Big Woods and they would count who had more.  Pigeon said that he will need a week. After a week the owls got to the big forest first before the pigeons  to gather all the pigeons because he thought that he had more pigeons than owls. The Owl said “ So I will need two weeks to get all my Owls.” They decided that they will meet in  one week, one hour after sunrise in the Big Woods. If birds come any later than an hour after sunrise they will not be counted. they both agreed and flew off gathering their birds.

A week later, the Owls were in the Big woods taking up all the space in the trees just when the sun was rising.  They laughed so hard because that they knew that the pigeons were still sleeping. They settled down and waited for the pigeons. Owl was so sure that they had more than pigeons. Then they heard a swooshing sound coming from above. The Owls looked up and saw  grey clouds and they noticed that the grey cloud was the pigeons wings. Many pigeons swooped down and covered the sky.  When the pigeons landed in the tree the owls were forced to move over because the pigeons took all the space. Pigeons landed and branches broke because there were too many pigeons on them. When the pigeons landed the owls couldn’t believe their eyes nor their ears. More and more pigeons swooped into the Bog Woods and the time was still ticking down.  Some Owls even felt nervous. They were way too crowded by pigeons. A few at a time, Owls took off, dodging the pigeons still sweeping in. The Owls bolted into the sky, there staring eyes opened wider because of the wind that was rushing past. Owl didn’t bother to count he knew that PIgeons had one fair and square. Pigeons celebrated by cooing and calling in the Big Woods. Since then, owls have always traveled at night when pigeons are asleep. They stare at everything around them, watching out for pigeons.
