Welcome, Haere Mai, Talofa, Kia Orana

Welcome to the new Room 9 Blog. It seemed only fair to start fresh with a link to the old Room 9. I started toward the middle of Term 2 working in the Rambunctious Room 9. We went on a field trip to the museum, following our learning about the World Wars.

The best part about the trip was getting to know more about the students. But their favourite part was was exploring the equipment the soldiers used during the war. They even though I had borrowed the water bottle for our class display. Until they realised my one still had the canvas around it. (It was my Great Grandfathers.)

Who I am?

Hi I am the new teacher to Room 9. I have been teaching in low decile school most of my career. My aim is to help students to be the best they can be. I love the new digital format chrome books and computers bring to education and see it as tremendously large part of the future of our children.

I look forward to going back to Nelson to visit my family, but most of them are now in Auckland.
