Hi did you know that New Zealand was one of the first countries in the world to have an 8 hour working day well this is part of labour day so today i'm going to tell you why we celebrate labour day and why we made this law.
Labour day. So this is why we celebrate labour day it’s Because in the 1840’s people use to work ten or twelve hours a day and there was no law to protect the workers. Then a few days later a man named samuel parnell said that he would only accept a new job as a carpenter if he could only work eight hours a day.
Then later on samuel parnell stood up in the court to fight for his rights and to work eight hours a day then all of the workers stood up to and demanded for them to work eight hours a day. then in the court the judge decided that the workers could work eight hours day.
Also after that everyone celebrated by taking a day off of work and marched into the parades on October the 28th. So when the day was over that was new Zealand's first ever labour day. Now that’s why we celebrate labour
The End.

Immersion Assembly
Hi welcome to term four the first day of school. This morning i woke up early and started getting me and my brother ready for school. So when we finished getting ready we started walking to school and when we got to school i dropped my brother off at his class then a few minutes later the first bell rang and all the year seven and eights went into the street to do our himene then when we finished the himene we went in class lines to the hall then we seen the school theme it was musical madness then after that we sat down and started watching all the performances.
So when we were watching them i found that team five was the most entertaining when they were doing there act in front of everyone. And what i wanted to know more about is how music can affect your emotions. So for example if you were listening to slow music you would feel kind of sad and if you were listening funny music you would feel happy.
Then last of all i found that the most informative team was team three because they were providing laughter from all of the students. THE END and thank you for reading my work.
