My Last Immersion Assembly

WALT: Write a recount of the immersion assembly.

Every term brings a new topic. This term brought Musical Madness as a topic. It’s all about Music and affects us.  Each team performed a little act to show their focus which are all based on Music.

The assembly started off with our senior management team band. Their song is called 'musical madness saves the day'. A band of five ruled the stage. It was a performance like no other a teacher rock school band. One played the drums, another played the guitar, one other playing the trumpet, one on the base and on the tambourine. We couldn't hear the words but heard lots of the instruments.

Team five’s (year 7 & 8’s) focus is, how do composers use music to evoke an emotional response in an audience? Their act was about a family watching the lion king. One scene was replayed four or five times. Each time the music changed… and so did their emotions. When the music sounded creepy, they all showed they were scared. When the music sounded happy they all looked happy. The act informed us the exact focus we’re gonna be learning about.

I found team three to be the most entertaining. Their focus is how music can impact our daily lives. Their act was a movie. Instead of talking different lyrics from songs were played. For example; one teacher lip synced, “I'm gonna swing from the chandelier”. Then another teacher said “well that’s pretty dangerous”. The first teacher then lip synced “Somethin' 'bout you makes me feel like a dangerous woman”. Everyone was laughing.

I can’t wait what this term has in store for us. This is sadly my last term… and I have a feeling it’s gonna be great! All such fun things to do in only nine weeks. I have high hopes that we’ll be able to fit the musical madness into nine weeks. I wonder if I could be a composer who could create an emotional response? I guess I’ll have to wait and see.

This is some of team five's act

Term 3 Has Arrived

Task: Write about the immersion assembly.

Term three has arrived. Yesterday we had immersion assembly and all the teams teachers had created really cool items. All the items were based on what their team are learning about this term.

A buzzing noise came from the back of the hall. Everybody looked back to see a drone. Aliens came onto the stage. Two of our teachers bravely stepped in. The teachers had lightsabers. Everyone found it really funny. The aliens were defeated. Our principal came onto the stage. He said, “this term’s topic is… Guardians of the Galaxy.

Team one and two focus is the solar system. They both had creative movies. Team one’s movie was about the teachers going to space. All of their teachers made a song. I found it really smart. The second team (team two) also made a movie. Their movie was actually a music video they created. Teachers were in space and one teacher was singing. All their lyrics were made by them but the music was by David Bowie..

“Next up... team three!’, said our principal. Team three’s introduction started with one of the teachers talking. She asked what day it was today. Then she asked what day was tomorrow. Her last question she went up to one particular boy. The question was,”what day is it in sixteen days”. He shrugged his shoulders. It turned out it was both of the birthdays in sixteen days. The movie started. Day of our lives intro started. After that they showed all their days during the week. Their focus was time.

“Only two more teams to go”, I thought to myself. Team four also had a movie. Their movie was set in the future. All the earth was gone and it was to disgusting to live in. Some teachers decided to go to space for a find of another planet. Every teacher from that team tried but all got blown up. Laughter filled the hall. Their focus was a question. Can humans survive on other planets?

It was time for team five. All the teacher had paper stars stuck to themselves. I don’t know about anyone else but I was laughing. Before the item began, my teacher said the introduction. “Our main focus for this term is, What impact does the moon have on the earth?” she started off. “If you listen the lyrics you might understand a bit more”. They all stood on stage. One teacher from our team started to sing. She sang to her own lyrics but to the song from Moana. I forgot which one though.

Everyone explained what their learning about… but I think that team three was most informative. Their movie showed acted days of their lives. That fits in perfect because their learning about time. I thought that was pretty smart. Overall I am very excited to learn what impact the moon has on earth. Can’t wait for term three to really kick off!

This week in writing, we have been learning about writing a introduction with hook and orientation. One of our tasks was to mark somebody else introduction based on the rubric above. Venetia marked my introduction and I think that she marked my introduction with threes because it wasn't really really interesting, but it was interesting enough to get a three. I hoped you enjoyed this and make sure to keep visiting my blog!

Introduction

Have you ever been handed food by a teacher, at assembly? During assembly this morning, if you were sitting up you could get food from teachers and prefects which they were making at the front of the stage. Read on to find out what else happened.

Have you ever walked into assembly and thought to yourself, am I dreaming because teachers are handing food out…  in assembly? This was what I was thinking when I walked into the hall for assembly. It was pretty weird but cool in the same way. Anyways, we waited for a while for our principal to speak.

When our principal started talking he was talking about how our topic was going to be involved in technology. By the way the topic for this term is Tinkering Tools and Toys. He also talked about how we are going to be having a lot of the letter T this term. The next thing that happened was the first team to perform, but I won’t tell you everything.

All of the teams perform and I thought that the best team performance was team three. Let me tell about their performance. Their performance started with three students (who were really teachers),on a couch, on a wet lunch and they were really bored. Out of nowhere came three minions (who were also teachers) that danced around the three kids and the song happy played while they danced around them. Once the minions danced around them four to six times, the three kids started making thing to play with. One of the kids made a paper plane. Another stacked little boxes on top of each other.The last one placed five long blocks on the ground. They all played with their toys and was happy again.

The assembly finished  and I thought it was a great but a bit weird. I ended up only eating a little sandwich. I really enjoyed the immersion assembly and looking forward to the next one. This term is going to be awesome!
