Melville Intermediate - Working with Room 6 Kilbirnie School

Today in class Hayze and Mackenzie, who have been Skyping Classrooms and Schools in Maori Language, spoke once again with our friends at Kilbirnie Primary School in Wellington. Its the second to last day of school in New Zealand, and in the background we had our regular Math's Lesson continuing, there were some wonderful highlights - the students from Room Six performed two Waiata for Hayze and Mackenzie, which was very, very special for the students. The lesson was also about teaching as well, as Hayze and Mackenzie spent time going over counting in Maori with the students from Room Six, their class page is one of our very favourites! If you've not already visited it, its a must see, click here. This is highlights from that session:

Melville Intermediate - "Mystery" Cooking Challenge

On Monday Cullen, Kieran and Bradley went to the Cooking Room. This term we've been looking at procedural writing for our written language. One of the tasks was for the students to create a set of instructions for others to follow - Cullen did an exceptional job and produced the following video. There's a twist, Cullen's not revealing the actual finished product that you get to make, you have to follow the instructions to work out what it is! Filmed by Kieran, Bradley and Cullen on Monday 12th July 2011 in the Mrs Browns Cooking Room.
