Immersion highlight

Today is the first day of term 3.The theme is healthy me healthy you. That means the teachers did a video or a live play. My highlight of the morning was the team 5 play because it was about the Olympics. The countries competing were USA, NZ and Australia. One of the teachers did a act. The first people to go was Australia. My favourite was USA because Mr Moran was using hoo-la hoops and couldn't spin them very well. My next highlight was the song at the beginning that Mr J sang and 4 teachers dancing to it. The song was an adaption to knowing you, knowing me because the theme is healthy me healthy you.
