Melville Intermediate - A brillaint Irish Blog

If you are looking for a different location to visit a fantastic class page then we would strongly recommend that you look at 2nd class Room Six, at Greystones School in Ireland. Its an amazing site with some wonderful work but we always love classes that have wonderful collaboration, and we've been able to do some fantastic interactions with them in such a short time. Pay them a visit, leave a comment and visit their wonderful page. The photographs that tie in with this post are part of our 'Ireland' project that were going to be displaying on the wall of our classroom in Hamilton, New Zealand. We've had a group of students - Elizabeth and Jamie creating the art behind the display, who are also going to spend time next week looking at the similarities and differences between ourselves and Ireland - as our term one topic is 'Building a Sense of Belonging: Relating to Others'.  We've been noticing the similarities and differences between our two countries has been an engaging and exciting, not to mention interesting experience. 

Next week we are on School Camp at the Narrows.  All of our team, Tirohanga, will be at School Camp from Monday to Wednesday.  We will be back again from Thursday with plenty of Camp relating postings, because of course we've got our camera charged and are prepared to share the experience with you and don't forget to visit our friends in Ireland here.

Melville Intermediate - School Gardens




The year sevens looked at the tomatoes and ate one and said that was so nice.  Our Y7 students had an opportunity to have a look at the Melville Intermediate School gardens.






We looked at the silverbeet and said it looks delicious to eat.  Jackie from Room Five took these photographs. The gardens are located between the computer room and the art room.
The year sevens went and saw the water tank and in the gardens  there was lots of vegetables like tomatoes, lettuec, cucumber and all sorts of stuff to see.  The water tank is for water for our toilets to flush that we recycle.
