Assembly Term 3

On the 15^th of August 2014 Room 7 had their assembly, our main focus was to inspire our audience with our mihi and to talk about global warming effects on Antarctica’s animals but especially our fluffy friends the Emperor Penguin. 

We performed a dance about staying alive and we were trying to reach out to the audience and tried to get them involved in as many ways as possible, our class also spent lots of time crafting origami beaks to use for the dance to make it more amusing. We also gave many example of how global warming is destroying habitats and killing animals. 

 

At the beginning of our assembly we performed a Māori song that was about Māori language vowels because our old student teacher Mrs Villiamu had a thing about music and how it can affect our daily lives, so we were inspired to use her style of music and perform a song that her, and our awesome teacher Mrs Stennard taught us. 

At the end of our fabulous assembly the netball certificates were handed out and our school was very proud to have one first place team, two second place teams and a fourth place team.

             G.S.S Goes To The      Netball Tournament.

On Thursday the 31^st of July, all those who go to Windmill park on Wednesday to play netball, went to the AMI netball stadium and participated in the netball tournament. My team, Year 6 Ruby, had a bye first and then we got into action. We lost the first game but then we won every other game we had. We lost a team member, which was Talia Jeffery because of a hand injury. We got another team member, Laura Mooney and she was just as good as Talia. Eleanor Clark’s team, Year 6 Green, won the first 3 games, lost the 4^th game and won the last 2 games. Chloe Simpson’s team, Year 5 Lime, won all their games and they won their section. Amy Petau-Ah Poe’s team, Year 5 Blue, won their 1^st game and lost the rest of their games. The coach for my team is Lynne Tofilau and our manager is Liz Trainor. Eleanor’s team coach is Aaron Clark and their manager is Elizabeth Molony. Chloe’s team coach is Fran Simpson and she is also their manager.
