Dragon's Eye Lake

Today is our 1st rotation for our Inquiry Lessons. I'm in Mrs Tele'a Class (a.k.a my home class). Mrs Tele'a taught us a very cool myth, it is also a romantic myth that comes from Croatia. It is about a dragon who looks after a land but in return the village people have to give the dragon 1 girl to marry each day. After reading about the myth, Mrs Tele'a told us to make a poster about the myth she has just read to us.

Immersion Assembly- Term 3 ( A World Of Difference)

Immersion Assembly - Term 3 

(A World of Difference)

Malo e lelei everyone and welcome back to Term 3 for school. I'm really happy to come back to school after having an amazing holiday. I'm very excited to see what we will be learning and doing for Term 3, to kick off the term we had to first go into our Immersion Assembly. Immersion Assembly is where the whole school comes together like a normal Assembly but our Teachers come together and make up a play or video which will be telling us what we will be studying, learning and focusing on. The Topic for Term 3 is: A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE. Each team from our school presented what they will be doing by their teachers here is what they are doing.

Team 1:

Team 1 will be learning about what kids from all around the world do different from us. What they eat, play, learn and how they get to school. Mrs Hockly from Team 1 also shared to us what A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE is in sign language. 
Good Luck Team 1!

Team 2:

Team 2 used the cartoon Dora the Explorer to help with their learning. They will be going on a world tour and explore like Dora different parts of the world.

Have Fun Team 2!

Team 3:

Team 3 also used the series Amazing Race with their learning through landmarks/structures from around the world. I bet they will have a great time learning about different and interesting landmarks.

Happy Learning Team 3!

Team 4:

Team 4 made a wonderful video with all the teachers, they will be learning and looking at different food around the world. They will be figuring out what food comes from where.

Have a great time Team 4!

                             Team 5: 

Team 5 (which is my team) will be learning about magical myths and historical legends around the world. To give us a better understanding about Myths and Legends our Team 5 Teachers put on a play about Sina and the Eel. This was about a young lady who always went to the ocean until she met a eel and the eel falls in love with the girl. Sadly the girl doesn't like the eel back so she runs back to her village and tells someone to kill the eel. Such a interesting story.

Enjoy your learning            Team 5!
