Melville Intermediate - Kahurangi Dance Theatre Recount

On the 24th of June 2013 the Kahurangi Dance group came to our school.  They performed in the school hall.  The performance was called 'People of the Pacific' and we had to play four dollars to get in and one hundred and something kids at our school attended.  The people in my class who went were Kristal, Chloe, Nichola, Levi, Liam and I.  

On our way over the hall we went in with the kids from Room Two.   When we got to outside of the hall we were waiting for the other classes to get there.  While we were waiting Matua Peter asked a question to us, what year were women allowed ot vote.  No-one answered the question by the time that we had to go into the hall.

 When we were all seated three of the men walked out on stage.  The first island that they told us about was Tahiti they showed us the long drum and then the conch shell and three of the ladies came out and they sung songs from Taihiti.

The second island was Hawaii they did the Hula and sung some songs.  The third island that they told us about was Rarotonga.   They told us that Rarotonga has heaps of similarities to Maori.   The last island they told us about was New Zealand.  They told us about the Taiaha.   After that they choose three people to go up on stage.    Those people were Katipa, Wiremu, and Quayne.   They had to copy one of the performers doing the

 Taiaha.   It was really fun.

Overall I think they were really cool and funny and I really enjoyed the performance and we were lucky that they came to perform at Melville Intermediate School.

Peachgrove Intermediate Vs. Te Awamutu Intermediate

On Tuesday 19th March 2013 Melville Intermediate hosted the 2013 Waikato Inter Intermediate Touch Finals.  Our Girls team didn't make the finals but two incredibly strong teams did, Te Awamutu Intermediate and Peachgrove Intermediate.   It couldn't have been a better final as the two top teams battled it out.   The half time score was nil all, with both teams scoring once in the second half.  That left sudden death to decide the winners for 2013 and Reitu from Room Five was present with camera and recording the event.  From Swarbrick Park in Hamilton.

Melville Intermediate - Reitu's Art

When I first started in Art Mrs Patterson read us a story called 'In the Beginning'. We had to choose one of the Maori Gods and draw and paint on a large piece of paper. After we had finished that we went over to the I.C.T lab to recearch about Ta Moko when we went back over to the Art room we made paper Mache masks of one of the Maori Gods and when we finished painting it we had to draw a Moko on the mask. After tht she read us a story about how Maui fished up th North Island and we had to draw a Fish Hook.

Melville Intermediate - Camp Recount Reitu

It was on the 4th of March 2013 it was the first day of Camp at Narrows Park.  We did a few activities before we went to the Go Karts.  First of all we went to the pool at the Camp.  It was really deep.  Then we went to the bush First Aide where we had to make a stretcher out of Bamboo sticks, wood and rope.  Then we went on to Archery and we went from there to the trolley racing.  Finally we went on the Go Karts.

Matua Joe and Sean, one of the workers at the Camp were in charge.  When we got there we all had to sit on the side by all the tyres.  Matua Joe told us that we got five laps each because four other people in our activity group had gone to Waka Ama.  After he told us that we all went down to the Go Karts to have a look.  There were two of them a grey one and a red one.  They showed us around them, how to put the seat belt on, which was the brake and the accelerator and where the kill switch was if we wanted to completly stop the Go Kart. 


On my first turn I raced against Shayla in the red Go Kart, and she was in the grey one.  Joe was counting from 3 then 2 then 1... and we were off! I was behind her for a little while.  On the firstlap it was annoying though because of all the dirt that was getting in my eyes.  Eventually I ended up in front of her in our last lap.  When we started racing I was versing Shayla again and I won that race as well! We won Cookies.  Everyone else in our group had their turns on them and then we left.  I really enjoyed the Go Karts racing the most out of all the activities on Camp, it was really fun.
