Melville Intermediate - Skyping with Canada

Today we skyped with Canada it was fun learning new things and teaching them things like your tribes and foods they had lots of qwestions and it was fun answering them. Today Damien and I exchange cultural knowledge about our different country's and learnt a lot of new info about Canada and it was really fun. Damien and Connor spent time this morning spekaing with students from Whitecap First Nation School in Canada. It fits in nicely with relating to others, one of the five key competencies of the New Zealand Curriculum which all students are suppossed to involve themselves in. The line was a little bit laggy but overall it was a positive learning experience for our students and great to connect with students from another county.

Melville Intermediate - Visit Kilbirnie Primary School

Today two of our students, Hayze and Mackenzie were able to Skype with Room Six from Kilbirnie Primary School, to talk about Maori Language and go over the rules for the Maori Hand Game that we've posted the video for online here. The Girls really enjoyed talking to Room Six and their teacher and they have a wonderful blog full of fantastic work that you really should check out here if you have not done so already.

A reminder that if anyone would like our students to Skype to help them with your learning of Maori Language then leave us a comment on this site and we will work out a time when we can get in contact with you, a big, big thank you to the students of Room Six at Kilbirnie School for a wonderful Skype session today.
