Museum Trip

On the 28 of October the year 7's went to the Auckland museum. We were split up into 9 groups all with 1 parent. Then we went on 1 of the 2 buses and they started driving to the Auckland museum where we kicked the trip off with the great "MORNING TEA"

After morning tea we got given a worksheet to draw on. We went to the Maori part first where i drew a bag that they used in the olden days. Second we went to the pacific area where i drew a knife/sword that they used. Then we got a free draw spot which I never got up to because I was adding too much detail to the worksheet. I know the thing I would've drawn a sword with shark teeth around it (for extra damage).

Then we had lunch and went out for a scavenger hunt in our groups although Francis and I went off with Francis's mum to find things and we found lots of things and at 2:00 we had to finish to get on the bus to get back to school.

Empathy Explanation

Who knows what empathy is? No one? That’s a shame. Empathy is a good thing, it’s where people are understanding of each other, meaning no fights and no one gets hurt or upset. The world would have no wars, no bombs, just kindness, if we all used empathy.

YOU TOO can be empathetic.  If you see someone crying or think they are lonely walk over to them and ask what’s wrong. After that maybe you should let them have a long talk to them & try to understand what's wrong. Trying to make them feel better by saying things that relate to what they said. You can also encourage people to show empathy.

Could you imagine the world without empathy? Empathy is important. It would be a bad world to live in. Fires everywhere, houses getting demolished, no place to live all because no one showed empathy. It would be TERRIBLE. Thats why people should use empathy because if we all use empathy everyone will get along and there would be nothing like war or a bad place to live in.

So this is why we use empathy, so we can get along and prevent fights. The next time you can use empathy it makes you a better person.

Immersion assembly term 4

We walked into the hall on the first day. Everyone is hyped and ready to see the immersion assembly. “The theme for this term is Art Attack” Mr Burt excitedly cheered into the microphone. “Everyone yell ART ATTACK” like an echo he gets the response “ART ATTACK!!!” Team 1 was first to go on stage for their welcome back play.

The music started and the five of them went on and sat on the edge of the stage swaying to the music. All of a sudden they got up and got their buckets and boards and bumper boats. Mrs Belt started boogie-boarding, Mrs George sat in her bumper boat throwing chocolate fish, Mrs Wild

and another teacher started throwing the beach ball around, but there was one more teacher that was digging in the sand with the bucket.

The music stopped and Mrs george said into the microphone “Team 1 is very lucky because they are getting their inspiration from nature and they are going to be having a picnic someday soon by the beach.” Team 1 all of a sudden yelled “YAY!!!!” and I think some of the team 1 teachers said yay too! Meanwhile Mr Jacobson was painting a picture of the reserve.
