Melville Intermediate - Visit Vonsild School Blog!
We've just being making contact in the last few days with the students of Vonsild School in Denmark. Our students have really enjoyed visiting their wonderful class page, its filled with videos and other work that is interesting and really gets you thinking about the students and what they are like. We held a class brainstorming session about Denmark and although we've had contact with most of the world, there wasn't a whole lot of information that Room Eight could come up with, that's all going to change as we start looking at Denmark as a nation tomorrow and learning about our friends on the other side of the world, in the meantime you can visit Vonsild School in Denmark by clicking here and check out their wonderful students work!

Melville Intermediate - NZAIMS 2011 Here we come!
Melville Intermediate are preparing to compete again at the NZAIMS Tournament. This tournament is the premiere sports competition for Y7 and Y8 students in New Zealand. Last year there were over 100 schools and 4,000 competitors, with over 800 officials in Tauranga for the week of competition. In 2010 Melville Intermediate entered Boys Soccer, where the team came 14th, Hip Hop where our team finished 4th by 0.5 of a percent and Girls Basketball.
Our Basketball teams over the last two years have a proud record of success, last year our Girls made the semi finals before being defeated by Kura O Te Koutu from Rotorua and finishing 4th. Our 2009 team was undefeated for the entire tournament and crowned national champions at the conclusion of the games! This years team has started preparation by playing at the YMCA on Tuesday night. The team is in a Boys/Mixed competition and has already defeated Maeroa Intermediate and St Andrews Middle School. Last week the Girls were defeated 35-45 by the Flyers Lakers, although they were dissapointed to lose they managed to play a forty minute game with five players and no reserves! Today Melville Intermediate played against the KBC Sting and defeated them 43-33. Kobe managed to score 17 points, in her first game for the year, Mata scored an impressive 16 and Sita contributed well with 10. The team has three more games in the 'A' pool against top opposition before the play offs. This footage is from Melville Intermediates game against the Sting tonight, the AIMS Games might be six months away but its approaching fast.

Melville Intermediate - Skyping with St Marys School
This morning students from Room Eight held a Skyping session with students from St Marys School in Mosgiel, in the South Island. We covered the students Mihi who were reciting it to Hayze and Mackenzie and the students also talked about their schools, the similarities and the differences. The students spoke for over half an hour and we here at Melville Intermediate really enjoyed the experience, judging by the posts on their page St Marys did too! You can click on their class page by clicking here.
Yesterday Mackenzie and I Skyped with St Marys School, Room Seven. They saw a link of Mackenzie and I in the CPA doing the Hawaiian dance for my Grandmothers Birthday. I was so surprised that they only had around two hundred students from Y1 to Y8 and we have nearly 300 students from Y7 and Y8. It was great talking to Room Seven and I really enjoyed it.

Melville Intermediate - Extension Cooking and Music
On Monday 28th February, extension cooking and extension music was on. 2 groups of students will go to an extension tech, one group goes to Mrs Brown, our cooking teacher and the other will go with our music teacher Mr Bell. I talked with a few of the students in extension cooking, who explained to me that they were making pasta. Then I went to the music room, I filmed Mr Bell and some of his students in the drum room, working on a recording. More students were filled in the guitar room and the recording studio. Manson who is amazing on the guitar played something. A few of the girls were in the recording studio were recording a song played on ukulele and with vocals.
