Immerion Assembly

On the first day of term 2 Point England school had an Immersion Assembly where teachers from all teams presented what they are learning about for the rest of the term.

During the assembly I found out that the funny team one kids are going to be learning about their favourite things and how it can be turned into art. Miss George and the other team one teachers, Miss Wild, Miss Peck, Miss Lal and Miss Dwyer had made a movie of their favourite things and had a quiz at the end, it showed who was paying attention. The prize was a mini size Whittakers chocolate.

The next item was team 2 and they are learning about the different seasons and the amazing colours that come with them, like how Winter has a sparkly blue and white colour when it comes and how autumn has a darker colour like brown, red and maroon, I would probably call them warm colours. So the team 2 teachers (Mrs Nalder, Miss Tumahai, Miss Eadie and Miss Szymanik) and their students will be learning about what colours come with which season.

Then it was team 3's turn and they had made another movie but this time it was about Grand Designs. Mr Blakey was the host and all the other teacher's in team 3 acted in the movie as well. The movie was about how 4 people who shared the same dream found each other on Facebook and decided to make their dream a reality. Their dream was to find the best location so that they could build their DREAM HOUSE. That's when I found out that team 3 students are learning about architectural designs and graphs.

An extra video was made by the team four teachers and it was so funny. There video was about made up superheros and an evil villain named Bear Baxendine who loves stealing chromebooks and how one day he decided to steal Bobby Johns chromebook but was stop by Bat Guy, Wondering  Women and Team Leader America. Team 4 are focusing on comic books and how comics come with more pictures than words.

Finally, I  saved the best for last the incredibly talented team 5 teacher's had choreographed a play about Point England’s team houses and what each waka’s true meaning is , Hine Moana is the Lady of the Sea, Te Aurere is the blood, sweat and tears, Hokule'a is the growing earth and Hikianalia is rising up into the guiding constellation of the stars. I thought the play was amazing.

This term our focus is the different colours that come with the waka’s and the design I can't wait until we start creating things

Why your child should attend Tamaki College

Does your child go Pt England School? and is almost finished intermediate also are you having problems figuring out what College they should attend, well have I got a solution for you.

Tamaki College is just up the road from Pt England and it is a great school for Year 8’s who are using a digital device like a Netbook or Chromebook because they are stall working with the Manaiakalani Network. This means you will be able to use your device in class and not be confused while using it.

In Tamaki your child will have many opportunities like meeting the Minister of Education or New Zealander of the Year like Dr Lance O’Sullivan. Not only are there opportunities, there are many new awesome teachers and friends,  at Tamaki everyone is considered equal so when you start you don’t have to be shy.

Another reason your child should go to Tamaki College is because of their PB4L which stands for Positive Behaviour for Learning, it means that positive behaviour can be learnt and difficult and disruptive behaviour can be unlearnt. It also means that individual children are not a problem they need to change the environment around them to support positive behaviour.

I have given five reasons why your child should attend Tamaki, number 1 because of Netbooks, number 2 Opportunities, number 3 Teachers, number 4 friends and number 5 Behaviour.

If you have agreed to let your child attend this amazing College you will be asked to make an appointment in the school office. Students are to be accompanied by their parents or caregivers to the interview, I really hope you have enjoyed this little letter and I really wish you have recommended this cool school.

My Rap For Camp

Now, this is the story all about how

My team won camp but just wait how

I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there

But first I tell you how we are the winners of this year

In Aotearoa, born and raised

On the court is where I spend most of my days

Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool

And all shootin' some B-ball inside of the school

When Ms flavell came it wasn’t good

She started telling me I’m a Leader now.

Sure i’ll pack some chocolate I tell my mum but mom says the opposite

We went on a fairy and travelled to kawau

the things we saw were really cool

we might just see dolphin swimming I say nah lets go to kawau

island.

I walk up to the mansion and then I see my cabin I turn around my home isn’t cleaner I thought to myself why not sleep but then I said no I need to lead.

My team is great because we are going to exterminate
