A few bits of brief house keeping. <span style="background-color: #fcff01;">This original blog ran for the 2008 school year.</span> It was the teachers first attempt at blogging (and the students as well) which is reflected in the charming nature of some of the posts, including small details like having a single camera to record everything (which was completed by students)</b></p><p>Following the teacher leaving <b>Tamaki Intermediate</b> it was decided to keep the blog as an document of the school year, especially with the school eventually closing. </p><p>The teacher followed up with additional blogs at <a href="http://melvilleroom8.blogspot.com/">Melville Intermediate in Hamilton</a> and then <a href="http://mrwebbauroa.blogspot.com/">Auroa Primary School in Taranaki.</a></p><p>In April 2022 posts were removed from this blog that had used third party sites that were no longer operational (such as bubble share and flash player using programs) which meant that the posts did not play properly or display as intended creating gaps on the site).</p><p>The school, the community and the students of the school are still very dear to the teachers heart, and he misses those days very much. He is currently still teaching having relocated to Hamilton and then Taranaki since 2014.

Our school is part of the Tamaki Cluster of Schools in Auckland New Zealand. You can visit our offical cluster site by clicking <a href="http://tamaki.net.nz/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">here.</span></a><br /><br />Our literacy cycle which is in the left hand side bar, is an example of some of the collaborative work that we've completed. Although the academic year in New Zealand starts in late Janurary we didn't post our first 2008 online work until mid March 2008 with our <a href="http://tamakitoday.blogspot.com/2008/03/virtual-tour-of-tamaki-intermediate.html">Virtual Tour of School Video...</a> March saw the premier of our <a href="http://tamakitoday.blogspot.com/2008/04/learn-to-speak-samoan.html">'Learn to Speak Samoan'</a> Series of Language lessons. These started as a vechile to get ESOL (English as a Second Language) students involved in our online work and have expanded into <a href="http://tamakitoday.blogspot.com/2008/04/tamaki-intermediate-poi-making-1.html">Learn to Speak Maori,</a> <a href="http://tamakitoday.blogspot.com/2008/06/tamaki-int-learn-to-speak-tongan-1.html">Learn to Speak Tongan</a> and <a href="http://tamakitoday.blogspot.com/2008/08/tamaki-int-learn-to-speak-fijian-1.html">Learn to Speak Fijian</a>. <br /><br />Our most popular video at this point was '<a href="http://tamakitoday.blogspot.com/2008/04/samoan-lesson-2.html">Learn to Speak Samoan Lesson Two'</a>. This was featured on a Professional development site as an example of intergrating <a href="https://educationalsoftware.wikispaces.com/">ICT in the Classroom</a>, and this was our first recoginiton of our site. We were very excited by this first recoginition. We've also been featured on other sites such as this <a href="http://masseytech.wikispaces.com/Maori+and+Pasifika">Massey Tech.<br /></a><br />By May we were publishing 'full steam' as we were constantly brainstorming ideas relating our students culture and material that we could publish online. We were also very happy with the numbers of visitors that we were starting to have. By June we'd had 820 visitors to this site, which was just over three months into our existance. This is when we created our <a href="http://tamakitoday.blogspot.com/2008/07/tamaki-int-girls-rugby-top-8-hits-of.html">'Best Rugby Girls Tackles'</a> video which is now our number one viewed material... this has had our 3,000 views and continues to climb all the time...<br /><br />By August the Rugby season may have finished but we were working hard at our<a href="http://tamakitoday.blogspot.com/2008/07/tamaki-int-quest-musical-special.html"> Quest Production</a> which we were able to post material of online. The Y8 students went to <a href="http://tamakitoday.blogspot.com/2008/08/tamaki-intermediate-blog-update.html">Camp</a> on Camp Bentzon, Kawau Island.
