Immersion assembly 2014 term 3

Today is a new term, which means more school. As always, an Immersion assembly should start the first day of the term, as well as a new topic “Game on”.


Excitement raging from head to toe, we all wait till the immersion assembly takes place. “Now it’s time for team 1!” Mr Jacobsen
shouted.


Team one showed a video about cultures of most Commonwealth countries dressed up in many traditions.They showed islands through the oceans of Pacifica, The Queen of the United kingdom, and they showed many other countries cultures.


Team one have showed a good example of many cultures, but that is not greater than the video compared to team 5’s one. Team five teachers had actually traveled to many destinations around the world.  Miss Nua traveled to Spain and took photographs of many locations - SPAIN. So did Miss Squires - CHILE, Miss Clark - NEW YORK, Miss Paget - Atlanta.


All team five teachers had a great holiday and a great time and

I’m looking forward to the next immersion assembly in the future.

AFL 2014

AFL, a sport originally named and invented by our neighbours Australia. AFL originates in Melbourne. The first match was played in the year 1858 and has now spreaded as a common sport in most nations such as New Zealand.

This term, we have experienced the sport made by our neighbours Australia. The skills we have learned have not only helped us with
AFL, but have helped us develop skills that simulates to other sports.

The taqdecs we’ve learned from Tim (our AFL instructor) are called the handball pass, drop punt, kicks. These technique were fairly easy to master considering we have a lot of experience for rugby. Here is an example of one of our skills we have learned during AFL kinetic force handball.jpg
