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, 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.

How does the human ear work

What is echolocation?

What is echolocation? Echolocation is something animals can use to see in dark places. As a bat, your habitat is mainly caves, so it will be pitch black and hard to locate your prey. Bats use echolocation to locate their prey.

Bats send out sound waves to determine where an object’s location is using it’s mouth or nose. If the sound waves hit an object, it will produce echoes. The echo will bounce off the object and return back to the bat, that is when the bat will strike.  

Of all the blind people in the world, nothing is worse than having your eyes removed. But there is one person in the world who can see without eyes. This boy’s name is Ben Underwood. As he was a 3 year old child, his eyes had to be removed due to eye cancer.

If he didn’t have an operation earlier, the eye cancer would have spread to his brain and will eventually lead to his death. Ben’s mum had a choice. The choices were, to keep Ben’s vision or have his eyes removed. Ben’s mum chose to have the doctor operate on Ben’s eyes.

So then, Ben had to live his life without eyes. But Ben discovered a skill called echolocation. Ben Underwood uses sharp clicks using his mouth to see. The sharp clicks bounces off objects and returns back to him.

With this skill, he doesn't need eyes to see, he can use echolocation.

Ben Underwood can move through gaps, hear cars from a far distance,

play basket ball, and can ride a bike without a problem. This unique ability has helped Ben Underwood through the toughest times but he could have had a better life with eyes.

The tools you're going to need is a clamp brush. A clamp brush is two brushes together, it thins your hair when you straighten your hair. They can be located in hair salons or chemist if you're lucky.

If there is none located in your area, you can just use a comp or a normal brush.
