Michelangelo & Sistine Chapel

Research about Michelangelo and the Sistine Chapel. The Sistine Chapel is in the capital of Italy which is Rome. 5 million people visit and the building was 60 feet tall. It took Michelangelo years to finish the painting but he finally finished and got paid only 78 thousand dollars (which is a rip-off if I was him).

Te Wa Toi, Learning About Lady Pink


We are researching about Lady Pink with Mrs Ilaoa.

What & Why I Love Immersion Assemblies?

Te Wa Toi is a meaning of ‘Time For Art’. This term we are going to be learning about what artists think and feel about their art. Immersion assembly was different this term, usually Team 1 - 4 makes videos but instead they showed us on what they think of art?

Being eager to learn more, today immersion assembly really touched me, what I mean is that every single team expressed on how they see art. Every person has different thoughts and words about what art means? For example, Ms King thought that some paintings shown in some museums were weird. In her mind I think that she has a different meaning of what art could truly mean!

Why I love Immersion assemblies is because it’s hilarious, it’s satisfying and heaps of other reasons why but I can’t think of any. I love the fact that the teachers from each team shows and explains on what their team is going to be doing. What I like about Immersion assemblies, they explain what their learning in a way that gets us children hooked to listen more about.

Team 3…. Well I can’t even describe it because it was really crazy. Mrs Carruthers, Mrs Scanlan & Mr Moran were dressed into a white paint suit. At first I thought that they looked like the Ghost-busters, Ms King and Ms Eadie had pallets of paint with some paint brushes in their hands. Music played and the teachers started dancing while Ms Eadie and Ms King put some paint on Mrs Scanlan, Mrs Carruthers & Mr Moran rolled all over the big, white paper that was on the stage floor. The funniest part that I loved was when they showed us their art and started doing an auction and most of the kids put their hand up and it was SOLD!

Team 4 had a paint-off but instead all the teachers (except for Ms Parrant), painted. Ms Parrant had picked a volunteer which was Mr Moran, and he had to do poses for the teachers to paint. Once they were finished they showed their art and explained what their inspiration was. My favourite was Mrs Sio or Mr Wiseman because Mrs Sio looked just like Mr Moran and Mr Wiseman was a black hole to describe his mind.

4 reasons on why I love Immersion assemblies is because teachers don’t just explain what their doing but they also make videos or show kids what their doing, other reason is that it makes you laugh and thinking that you want to learn more about it. 3rd reasons sometimes teachers (including the principal), are dressed up into hilarious clothing that looks ridiculous on them. My last reason that I can think of is teachers do weird dances and make fun of themself but they don’t care what we think because their happy that they make us laugh.

Task Description -
We had Immersion assembly which was the best, we had to write about what & why we love immersion assemblies.
