Assembly With Korero

We lined up for assembly and then walked to the hall. When we arrived we sat down in our rows waiting for everybody else to come. We had silence and then started to sing the national anthem. After that Mr Burt handed out the certificates, and then Ms Muliaumasealii talked to us. She told us that her brother Mr Muliaumasealii, had been in culture groups ever since he was young and wanted to study singing, so he did. He studied opera, then he moved to London and is now teaching over there. He came on Friday because he wanted to sing for us and that's what he did.

 He was wearing rolled up jeans under a pink lava lava and a t-shirt. His hair was like an afro, but very cool. He came out and started talking about how he's been in London for so long and has not been close to his culture. So obviously our first song we sang was a Samoan song called 'Minoi, Minoi, Minoi' song. Then he sang a song that his friend's and him wrote for Samoa after the tsunami. It was sad but we waved our hands in the air. He finished and sang a very popular opera song .

 When he walked back his lava lava fell off then he unrolled his jeans and tied his hair up and started to let his voice sing. It was very nice. Assembly kept going and we did sports certificates, there were over 125 kids that participated in sports this week. The sports were basketball and softball. Assembly finished with little talks from monsters and men. Team 4 and 5 had to stay back for a little korero. It was about bullying, serious bullying.

Mr Burt was disappointed, but he was disappointed for a reason. A person was too scared to go to school. It was a sad moment for our school on Friday because this boy got bullied for no reason. But then we ended our assembly and headed for our day ahead. Thankfully the boy is back at our school and is happy.

Fia Fia Assembly

When we walked into assembly on friday  we could tell that it was different because of the drums and two girls( Jaylee and Osana ) handing out lays to the teacher’s. We could tell a show or concert was coming up. And we were right Fia Fia 2013 was at the end of the term Ms Muliaumaselii was running it and gave us a little concert to tell us that it was coming up,at assembly.

To start it they got one of the funniest teachers Mr Barks up to dance like a hula girl and while he was up she done a rhythm and called Mr Somerville ( The best teacher in the world ) and Mrs Vaafusuaga to do the beat then levi was banging on the drums after that the singers came on stage. Two of them were from last week and the other was another boy.

They sang their song from last week again but instead did an acapella It was alright but my opinion  was I thought it was better last week with the music, but it was still cool too bad they weren’t 14 or else they could have auditioned for X factor New Zealand. I think they could be the new Emblem Three. But win, instead.

The ballerina’s came out  doing cartwheels and then the hip hop people came out also the bollywood people came out and the all the people that were  on the stage had to do the bollywood dance. Bollywood is cool that’s why I am joining.

This Assembly is the best one I’ve been to so far. I can’t wait to Fia Fia because there will be a lot more of great performances and it will be entertaining.YEY!!!!!!
