A World Of Difference

Today 20th of July also the first day back for Term 3, we had a  immersion assembly and we learnt new things, first Mr Burt showed us his hat collection they were all from the places he traveled, he travels alot. then Mr Jacobsen showed and told us about his family his Great Grandfather was the kings bestfriend and the king gave his Great Grandfather land, and this kilt that turned out to be a traditional air loom from his brother and it was over a hundred years. Later on Mr Sommerville learnt something about himself in the holidays, he realized that his Grandfather was a knight from Scotland, and that he was the 3rd generation that came to New Zealand out of his family. Right after that we watched Team 1's movie, it was about kids asking what they done in the holidays, Team 2's movie was about Dora exploring the world, Team 3's movie was about the kids eating and asking "what country was that food made from?" Term 4's movie was about Sina and the Eel.

The Story of Sina and the Eel

Sina is a girl that would always talk to a Eel but the Eel kept asking her to marry her and that he was once a Prince, she got frightened and said "NO" the Eel was so sad and kept watching her and asking, then she told her Sister and her Uncle to kill the Eel, They cut the Eel's head and buried it, it will now turn into a palm tree and grow big with coconuts, Sina would drink the coconuts as a way of kissing the Eel.
