Each of the students of Melville Intermediate School have to do a number of assesments based around PrEP.  One of these tasks is to review PrEP by writing a brief recount of their experience.  This is written by Icis from Room Five.

Yesterday was PrEP 2013 my group Slice of Heaven were selling toffee apples, milkshakes and truffles.

PrEP started at 3:30pm, in the first 10 minutes our store was surrounded by heaps of customers wanting to by milkshakes. Within 20 minutes our group were selling out.it was 3:30pm our whole store had sold out and we were left with nothing to sell.

With another 2 hours to go of PrEP our group pack up and left to look at other stores. It was an awesome experience to be apart of PrEP.

Melville Intermediate - KidsQuest Minecraft Site

If you haven't seen Mr Woods Minecraft Collaborative site you really need to view the site by clicking on the link to it here.  It has a range of activities and challenges based around one of the games that students are currently obsessed with in Room Five - Minecraft.  In term three our students each completed one task from Mr Woods site.  This was Icis from Room Five's description of the task that she completed, as well as screen shots from her completed task. 

Mine craft!!!

Learning intention: I am writing an explanation for my choices.

I chose to do minecraftkidsquest.blogspot because I thought it will be fun to build a castle. I also chose to do it so I don’t have to do written work in class. Mine craft at the moment is really popular in our class. The only difficulty was when I had to follow the instructions; next time I will choose to do a different mine craft quest/ the pyramid.

I think you should I think that you should build a hospital that is at least 10 stories high. It should also have detail and be realistic; with windows, waiting room, bathrooms, beds and kitchens.

The educational part that ties into mine craft is that you are using area and perimeter in you building.

Melville Intermediate - NZAIMS 2013 Recount

On Sunday 15th of September the Melville Intermediate Girls Basketball team went to Tauranga to compete in the NZ AIMS Games.   Later that night we went to the opening ceremony.   The opening ceremony was cool. 

Monday was our first game was against Aquinas College lost by 1 point.   We won our other games later that day against Dio from Auckland and Kristin School from Aukland.  It was tough but we still got back up and won our games 40-10 against Dio and 35-28 against Kristin. There were a lot of fouls  in these games.

Tuesday we played Saint Cuthberts College from Auckland and Northcross Intermediate we won both of those games. There were a lot of rep players which made it difficult but it was challenging and fun for our team. We were excited to win those two games.  The other game on Tuesday was against Tauranga Intermediate this was a tough game and they played really well against us and unfortunatly we lost 35-19.

Wednesday we went to bayfair shopping center,because we only had 1 game late that day.we played a very hard game losing to Te Kura Te Koutou, who eventually won the whole competition.  They beat us 12-60.

Thursday we playerd off for 7th-8th place unfortunatly losing against The Knox school from Australia.  We thought that we would have won this game however we were only just behind at half time and the game ended up very close.   The Knox ended up winning 23-28.

We tried our best and played hard to represent Melville Intermediate  at the nationals.  Overall we came fourth in our pool which we were happy with and there were 17 teams in the competition altogether.

My tech was wood work and made a jewellery box for some one special to you and in now in food technology with Mrs Brown.

We got a letter about 3  weeks before camp about camp.  We went to camp on the 6^th

The next day me had breakfast and did our next activity and I was on Go karts and then we got called for lunch we had a wrap and fruit then I was on the waka ama.  We went for 2 hours the stopped at the gardens where people swim and call it the cliff.  When we got back to the camp grounds it was dinner after dinner we went on a bush walk where we had to hold a rope and people would give  us a fright and after that we had a hot shower.  The next day we had breakfast and had free time and then it was time to go and when I got back every thing was back to the same.

Melville Intermediate - Narrows Camp

Yesterday on the 6th of March 2013 was the last day of School Camp.  All of the children that had attended camp were able to pick and choose an activity.  I had choosen the Go Kart racing,  I also choose to participate in the challenge which we timed the three laps that you were able to race and you had to be the fastest that you could in three laps.

I was seated in the Go Kart and I was feeling like a winner but I was nervous at the same time.  There was the a countdown 3...2...1... GO! I had my foot planted down on the accelerator.  I have a corner up ahead and I felt confident speeding around the corner.  I felt the air brush through my hair.  I finished my first lap, then my second.  Blasting past the finish line I was relieved.  I checked my time on the stop watch and it was fifty seven seconds, which was the fastest female time.  Icis from Room Five.

Melville Intermediate - Inter Intermediate Athletics 2012

On Tuesday 26th of November it was the Waikato Inter Intermediate Athletics competition day.  I was so lucky to be put through into the Girls Shotput, Long Jump and 4x100m Relays.  That day was very hot so it made a few events hard.  At 10:30am the first events were Shotput Y7 Girls.  I was up, seeing Girls that looked five years older than me was a bit scary, but guess what I made it into the top six out of twenty girls, for the whole of the Waikato area.
