Melville Intermediate - Poi Making Lessons

We've had a series of online lessons this term that have proved to be very popular based around the making of Maori Poi. Next term we have a series of tutorial lessons planned on how to use these items, in the meantime you can view the Poi Making Video Tutorial featuring Holly, Annalize and Fauiki. We split their video into two, the first dealing with the making of the handle, which you can view by clicking here. The second video focussed on the creation of the 'ball' of the Poi and connecting it to the handle, you can view that by clicking here.

Or you can also view our other group's work that of Annalize, Fauiki, and Anahere which is one single video by clicking here. Stay tuned for more in series when the holidays finish in another week.

Melville Intermediate - Anahere demonstrates a Mihi

Room 8 have been learning our Maori Mihi (Greeting) and practising them. Some of our students are very fortunate that they know there's already, as we're going to shortly start teaching some other classrooms. Anahere had her Mihi filmed yesterday and did a fantastic job. She also included a Waiata (song) at the end. It was filmed by Nathalie and Lana on Wednesday 17th February 2010. Also Room 2 yesterday helped out the Room 7 St Claires classroom from Dunedin you can check out a link to their Mihi collaboration by clicking here.
