Melville Intermediate - Camp Bush Bash

This is the second to last video from our Y8 Camp. Students are currently on School Holidays for the end of Term One, 2011. They will be back at School on Monday 2nd May 2011 for the start of Term Two. We look forward to getting in contact with you all then, and thank you for your visit.

On Y8 School Camp one of the activities that students participated in was the 'Bush Bash'. It was a three hour activity with the students hiking to the Finlay Park Out Camp, where the Pancake making took place. From there students then walked for an hour and a half back to the Camp. It was a enjoyable experience for everyone involved and the views overlooking the Camp was amazing! Filmed on the second to last day of Camp, April 13th 2011.

Melville Intermediate - Class Challenge at Camp

On the first day of Y8 Camp the Challenge was for the five Y8 classrooms at Melville Intermediate School to compete against each other in a variety of challenges involving water. When that was completed the classrooms had a cheer each, which was followed by the final classroom challenge. Students had to take a container of water have it delivered from the Swimming Pool, onto a Rickshaw, pass it onto another student who was being held on a stretcher, and then finally pass it onto the last group of students who had a pole and had to deliver it to the final container. If it sounds complex it doesn't matter because it was a whole lot of fun and one of the activities that the students really enjoyed. Room Eight managed to come Runners Up in this activity. Congratulations are due to our friends in Room Five who emerged victorious in the competition! Filmed on the last week of Term One at Finlay Park Adventure Camp, Karapiro, Waikato on Monday 11th April 2011.
