Term 4 Immersion Assembly Recount Writing
(Unfinished)
Today I went to school after the 2 week holiday and it was nice seeing everyone again and we went inside after the 8:30 bell rang and Ms Tuia let us inside our classrooms. When the 8:50 bell rang room 7 lined up outside our classroom and we went to the hall when Mrs Lagitupu came outside and we went with her to the hall. When we saw the stage we were confused why there was a big tub of water and water that seemed to be leaking from the roof. And then Mr Burnt started talking about term 4 for a few seconds, Mrs Noa came to the front of the hall but she was not on the stage and then Mrs Noa asked about the tub of water.
Mr Jacobson came on stage. He explained that there were leaks around the school due to climate change but they fixed them but when they came to school in the morning there was a leak on the stage. And he got a 1000 litre tub to catch the water but the tub is almost full (800 litres) and he doesn’t know how to move it. Mrs Noa was angry that they chose a shortcut and now they have a big tub of water on the stage and didn’t fix the leak. Mrs Noa went up on stage and then Mr Somerville came on stage and said that they could use a siphon to get rid of the water and then told Mr Jacobson to put a thing that looked like a hose (I forgot the name) in the tub and hold it still.
Mr Somerville turned the hose thing on because he connected it to a water thing and turned the water on and the students saw it coming. But, the hose water didn’t reach the tub water. And the students saw the water going down and they were disappointed. The water came up again and it reached the tub water and then the students were a bit happy. And then Mr Somerville said that he was going to drop the hose thing and it will make a siphon. And then he dropped the hose thing and then the tub water started to come out along with the hose water.
