Turning up late to school, I was wondering what the topic for this term was. As soon as I sat down in the hall I asked the boys sitting next to me, Calvin and Jacob, if the Immersion Assembly had just started. “Yes”, they replied. The whole school was there (except the year 7’s and 8’s) to find what the topic for the term was.

Mr Burt announced that we are learning about the RUGBY WORLD CUP (or in other words it was called) Keep Your Eye On The Ball. Every term on the first day our teachers in each year put on an act. This terms funniest team was team3. Their act was the BOMB!!! (Not literally!)


Their one was classic. It was like a game. The aim of the game was to finish your bowl of Weet-Bix without your hands. Teachers had to find a partner in the audience to help them eat it . The way they helped them was, they stood behind them, took a hold of the spoon and had to aim it to their mouth. The first one to finish was the winner.

Of-course you called tell that Miss Lavakula was going to cheat . When it finished the last team finished their act we went back to class to start the first day of term 3 awesomely.

Archimedes Inventions

Some scientist mathematicians in the ancient world were not as good as Archimedes. Who is Archimedes you are probably wondering? Archimedes is a man who invented many things in his ancient Greek days. People in the ancient world looked up to him as the master and the wise one. No-one forgot him in those days. Archimedes was the last mathematicians.

Archimedes was born at 287 B.C. in Syracuse Sicily. He interested in inventing from his dad Phidias. sometimes he so busy that he would forget to eat.

Archimedes invented a ship shaking device called the Claw. He invented it in 214 B.C.. The Claw was invented to ward off attacking Roman ships. The claw was made by 2 poles, a pulley system and a large hook.

His inventions are not like the inventions today. That is Archimedes and how he grew up.
