Hello and welcome to an exciting year in H23. I am really looking forward to getting to know you all and being part of your learning journey.
First, a little information about me. I have been teaching for many years and have taught all primary ages from Year 1 to Year 8 though most of my teaching experience is with Year 4 students.
I am originally from England but moved to New Zealand 11 years ago and now think of New Zealand as home.
I have two daughters who are 13 and 9 years old. I have 18 pets! One cat, two rabbits, 9 chickens and 6 alpacas.
This is Princess Leah and her new baby Nugget. He was born just before Christmas.
I love learning new things. My favourite lessons are maths, science, reading and writing.
I love my job and I am very proud to be part of the teaching profession. I hope you will check in regularly to see what your child has been learning and sharing their successes with them.
