Melville Intermediate - Ben and Hamish Interview

One of the major new features of Melville Intermediate School is the mural that now hangs proudly outside Room Eighteen.  It was created by Matua Peter who works at Melville Intermediate School, you can see it in the slideshow below this post.  Hamish and Ben from Room Eight wrote this about the process.

In this video we interviewed Matua Peter.  He is the one that made the mural.  We had to write five questions each to ask him about it.   He then answered them and after that we said thank you.

Melville Intermediate - Hamish's recount about Day 1 of Camp

As the car slowed to a halt I looked up and there was the Camp in all its glory! We got out and walked to the concrete area that the teachers told us top meet everyone at.  Everyone else was already there.  I sat down in my group as soon as we could.  We went to our cabins and set up our beds.  The first activity was water games! First we did the giant puzzle.  Each line had to connect together.  The second thing we did was to get bits of pipe and hold them steady against each other.  Water had to flow from one end to another end and into a bucket.  For that we got 150 points.  The next was really hard.  There was a barrel full of holes, we had to plug the holes.  For that we got 150 points.  Any way the final challenge was to make a chant and to compete against the other classrooms.  After all the competitions our class came fourth. 

Melville Intermediate - Raising the Flag

Today in classroom we rang Mr Miller, a teacher from California, USA. His students had already finished for the day, and as the duty class we asked about anything that students in the USA do each day. He explained about the pledge of allegiance that they make each morning. Robert, Ben and Hamish filmed this video explaining how we raise the school flag. Filmed at Melville Intermediate on Wednesday 2nd February 2010 by Ben from Room Eight.
