Prior to running this site Mr Webb, our teacher was responsible for running a page at his old school called 'Tamaki Today' some of the highlights of that site were 'Learn to Speak Samoan' and 'Learn to Sasa'.
It featured things like Cook Island Dancing.
We also received lots of visits as a result of putting some of our rugby games online like this.
From Melville Intermediate School we've received visitors from all over the world. Some of our most featured work has included our 'Maori Mihi' work video tutorials, you can even view students who are Russian speaking Maori from watching our videos or learning the Days of the week in Maori! We also were very proud of 'Rakau Stick' tutorials. If you click on the link here you can view students from the USA who learnt about Rakau from our video. The following link here is our 'Learn to Make Poi' series of lessons one and two. Last year we were particularly pleased with our 'How to Count in Maori Videos' and our 'Maori Haka Tutorial'. Two years ago we also taught Appleby School, Nelson how to perform a Mihi. You can view that material by clicking on the link here.
We've also featured amongst other things our work and video related to our 'School Sports Teams', 'School Cultural Group - the CPA', school music videos and lots more. You can use the Google 'search' widget to find other examples of our work, or if you want directions to a specific piece of work, just ask!
During Term Three 2010 we published our Wai Maths Video Entry, where a student from our class came up with a Mathematical problem that ended up travelling over 80,000km around the world. We also have taught classrooms around New Zealand Waiata like Hotiki, how to speak Maori in preparation for a Marae visit, like Reparoa School, how to do a Maori Mihi with Appleby School near Nelson or introducing yourself for a junior School, Pukekohe East School in Auckland,
The digital learning cycle is the plan that we follow when we are looking at planning some online work. Our students follow the process when they create a piece of work.
In 2013 we've been fortunate to have highlights like our collaboration with Lochardill Primary School, Scotland. We've also been involved in Quadblogging Aotearoa with Selwyn House School, Christchurch and Tawa Intermediate. You can view examples of these collaborations by clicking on the links to those classes.
