Immersion Assembly. . .

As soon as the bell went I heard Mr Burt’s thundering booming voice saying “$1 $2 $3 number 21 going once going twice going 3 times and sold to number 21”. We were at school for our Immersion Assembly to learn our new topic for this term.

The first teachers to go up in front of the School was team 1 which was the year 1’s. Their topic was all about money. They said that they're trying to earn some money by working hard and being good to their teachers.

My  favourite team was team 4 because they were all learning about being good with money the teachers names who were acting on stage were Calm, Sassy and Really Happy. They were very funny because how Mr Somerville was acting like a  girl and how he was walking.

I thought that In Immersion Assembly was the best Assembly ever because I got given lots of chocolate’s. I felt very excited because team 1 scrambled a-lot of money chocolate. This terms topic for 2015 was called trade & Enterprise. After a long while I felt very tired.

The smallest Circus In the world...

Once upon a time there was an old man called Leo Mousini and he was the world's most attraction star for all of these years. Leo Mousini was wearing a orange coat and a black hat when Leo started performing in the circus he did lots of different tricks like a hand stand on one arm and a cartwheel. When Leo Mousini did his handstand and his cartwheel he started to get really dizzy so he got really old and he had a back pain. When Leo Mousini walked home he felt very tired and very sad but he still had time to walk around the circus once. When Leo left the circus he got really old and traveled back home. When he got home he saw to little mices hiding in his hat. The two mices names were called Mitzi and Mack. The two mices were cute and funny The mice had asked Leo in a quiet voice if they can learn some magic tricks off Leo Mousini. So Leo Mousini taught them how to do handstand on one arm how to ride a unicycle without handlebars and how to do a cartwheel. So then Mitzi and Mack had been called the mice clowns. All the audience had been really excited because the mices were really cute.
