Melville Intermediate - Duck Calling with Kellen R2

Today in Room Five we had some special guests, one of whom was Kellen from Room Two.  Kellen was keen to demonstrate to the classroom his Duck Calling techniques as Kellen has been involved in Duck Shooting.   While he was keen to demonstrate this to the classroom Mr Webb had an even better idea to send Ryan with a camera to an area of the school and have Kellen prepare a video to show everyone, not just in Room Five, but our visitors from around New Zealand the world what he can do.

Melville Intermediate - AIMS 2012 Games Summary

Melville Intermediate 2012 NZAIMS Games results started on Monday 10th September 2012. The Melville Intermediate Schools Girls Basketball Teams first game was against The Knox School from Melbourne.  It was an incredibly close game, going down to the last thirty seconds, the Knox however emerged victorious winning 32-34.  Melville then had to pick them up for an afternoon game against Te Kura o Moana Tauranga.  Melville scored their first win of the competition 41-10.  Knowing that the quarter finals could be reached with two wins on Tuesday the Melville team were desperate for good performances against Ross Intermediate from New Plymouth and Bethlehem College.  Ross were defeated in the morning 34-9 and Bethlehem College were beaten 55-6.

This left Melville Intermediate as runners up in pool b, facing a play off game against one of the tournament hosts, the unbeaten Tauranga Intermediate School.  In a quarter final that was tied 14-14 at half time Melville proved to strong for Tauranga, knocking them out for the second consecutive year in the quater finals this time 30-23.

Melville had then the sternest of challenges in the Semi-Finals, Kaitoa Middle School from Rotorua.   We'd played Kaitoa in their Rotorua Tournament in June, and lost by a point, however Kaitoa were dominating this years AIMS tournament winning their games by huge margins.  It wasn't meant to be for Melville, Kaitoa, the eventual NZAIMS Champions, running away with the game 30-47. 

That left Melville with a final game for 2012 for third and fourth place, against The Knox School from Melbourne.  Both teams were desperate for the medals that came with third place, and while there was only six points in the game at half time, Melville Intermediate were able to win convincingly 38-22 making them third for 2012.  Kobe Hawea as a result of her outstanding play throughout the tournament was named in the tournament team, a feat that she repeated from 2011.

Melville Intermediate - Coltons Science Technology Recount

I was in science, the teacher was Mrs Taylor.  We were learning about the human body.  First we learnt about the bones and the skeleton of the human body.  The next day we learnt about the human heart.  We tried to find out our pulse on our wrist and see how many times our heart beats in a minute.

We started running around getting out hearts pumping.  We checked our pulse again and our hearts were beating much faster.  My average heart beats 46 times a minute but after running around for thirty seconds it was beating 73 times a minute.

We learnt more about the human body and skeleton.  Mrs Taylor passed around some cow bones.  It was the bones of a cows shoulder, shoulder blade and thigh bone.

Report by Colton, Room One, guesting in Room Five for today.

Melville Intermediate - Inter Intermediate Basketball 2012

Today Melville Intermediate competed in the Waikato Inter Intermediate Basketball Competition for 2012 held at the Te Awamutu Events Centre.  The Melville Boys found the going a little tough, losing to Te Awamutu Intermediate first up 15-24, before drawing with Cambridge 8-8.  They then lost to Tokoroa Intermediate 2-12 before finishing up against semi-finalists Peachgrove Intermediate School and beating them 14-10.   The Boys finished 5th overall.

The Girls were unbeaten for the tournament.  They defeated Cambridge Middle School in the first game 12-6, before defeating defending champions Peachgrove Intermediate School 14-12.  They then took on Te Awamutu Intermediate and defeated them 8-4.  This put Melville into the Semi-Final against Berkley Middle School.  Melville defeated them 18-2 to book a place in the final against Matamata Intermediate.  Matamata went into the final with some amazing stats- they had not conceded a point in any game, and the final was a closely fought affair.  It was 8-4 to Melville at half time and in the second half Melville were able to claim the slenderest of wins 14-12.  This makes Melville the 2012 Waikato Champions and is a fantastic build up to the NZAIMS Tournament which starts this Sunday!
