Melville Intermediate - Working with Room 6 Kilbirnie School

Today in class Hayze and Mackenzie, who have been Skyping Classrooms and Schools in Maori Language, spoke once again with our friends at Kilbirnie Primary School in Wellington. Its the second to last day of school in New Zealand, and in the background we had our regular Math's Lesson continuing, there were some wonderful highlights - the students from Room Six performed two Waiata for Hayze and Mackenzie, which was very, very special for the students. The lesson was also about teaching as well, as Hayze and Mackenzie spent time going over counting in Maori with the students from Room Six, their class page is one of our very favourites! If you've not already visited it, its a must see, click here. This is highlights from that session:

Melville Intermediate - "Mystery" Cooking Challenge

On Monday Cullen, Kieran and Bradley went to the Cooking Room. This term we've been looking at procedural writing for our written language. One of the tasks was for the students to create a set of instructions for others to follow - Cullen did an exceptional job and produced the following video. There's a twist, Cullen's not revealing the actual finished product that you get to make, you have to follow the instructions to work out what it is! Filmed by Kieran, Bradley and Cullen on Monday 12th July 2011 in the Mrs Browns Cooking Room.

Melville Intermediate - A very special award

We've received a very, very special award for our class work here at Melville Intermediate School. We've received special recognition from the Human Rights Commission of New Zealand.   The award is specifically for our work for Maori Language and Maori Language Week (where we're also listed as a resource on the official Maori Language Week Facebook Page).

We're thrilled with this wonderful official recognition for our students work - a big thank you to all those classrooms from New Zealand and around the world that have allowed us to share the students culture with them and contributed video footage and Skyped with us.  You can see all of this work linked from the 'pages' section of this blog in the top right hand corner.

This acknowledgment will be publicised in the official monthly e-newsletter On the Bright Side, Positive Contributions to Race Relations, with commentary.

 Given that this week is officially Maori Language Week the timing of this award couldn't be more special, and we will be sharing this with the students tomorrow.  A reminder to all of our visitors that if you would like to Skype with our tutors (Mackenzie and Hayze) they are available, just leave us a comment on this post with your contact information or email our teacher at myles.webb@gmail.com.
