Immersion Assembly

When we walked into assembly on the first day of term, we saw three bikes. Then along came Mr Jacobsen with another bike. Then there was four. Ms Tito was on her own bike on the stage.

This term our theme is called ‘Game On’. Every term we always have a theme. We are learning about the Commonwealth games. At the Commonwealth games there are many sports like boxing, rugby sevens, gymnastics and also long jump.

At our immersion assembly we had different teams that did different things about Game On. Team four did a mash potato challenge. They had to build something with the mash potato when they finished the referee had to pick which one was the best.

Team 2 was really funny because their one was about all different sports. They did running, shot put and javelin. Their one was really funny. I like watching it because it was cool for us to watch.

When our assembly was finished I was ready to learn.

Fifa World Cup

This year there is a Fifa world cup the world cup is one of the biggest thing in the world. Brazil is hosting the world cup. The first game that happened was last week I think. Brazil was the first term to play in the world cup Brazil played Croatia the score was 3 -1 

In group C Colombia had beat Greece the score was 3 - 0 Colombia was playing really good. I don't know if they have had another game but this year Colombia doing really good. Spain has being holding the cup for about 5 years. 

The World cup has been hold in Brazil and the cup is being hold every 4 years this is the 2nd time that Brazil the first time that Brazil hold it was about 1950 that about 64 years ago. 

Tamaki Tech

There are three ground that are there for tech this year is the first time that I have been to tech. The first group that I was in was hard material. What we had to do was we need to design what you want to make.

We also learnt how to make what we design the cool thing is that we get to changed groups every 13 weeks. In the first week you get to make a form to who you are making it to and then you need put on picture of what they like.

In 13 weeks time your teacher for tech tells you what group you get to go if you are in hard material you might go Food or Graphics. The group that was in hard material got moved to Graphics.

What you learn in Graphics is horizon lines we had to draw it on a piece of paper lines and once you finished it turns into something. At the end we all head back to school. It so fun to be doing tech especially when it is my first time.

Smart footprint (Cyber Smart)

You always need to remember about smart footprint the reason why is because everything you do people are watching you or can see you especially online. If you say something mean to other people online and you try and delete it won’t work because people can see what your doing.

Its amazing sharing things online on your blog and making fun videos. But when you do something wrong and never be cyber smart the teachers and your mother will see what you are doing.

Smart footprint is not only foot print on the sand its about what you do. You have to be smart and chose to do the right things not bad if you friends make you do something dumb would you really listen or be smart?

It cool and amazing sharing things but sharing bad things is not being smart. Everywhere you go there is always a footprint when ever you do something bad and you try to trash it you would always leave a footprint.

Just remember what Mr Burt said being smart footprint is be a good person not being bad. Just remember that everywhere you go you would always leave a footprint no matter what you do or where you go.
