Kiwi Christmas Day
December25
The best kind of Christmas Day is one where no one gets upset or has a hissy fit; where people chill out; and where family get together.
The kids, me, my ex-husband/kids father, and his other son – sharing the cooking and the eating. All very peaceful. Just as it should be.
Then a walk on the [...]
End of year posts
December19
I’ve just made a final post to my class blog – next year I’m in a new classroom with a new number and and year level. The new teacher who will be in the new Room 10 probably won’t be taking over the blog – although she’ll take over the Room 10 wiki later in [...]

They say a change is as good as a holiday …

I’m not really sure who they are but I suspect they are sort of right.

I have a secret passion – well – maybe not so secret – teaching is not about feeding information into kids brains – it’s about creating a place where kids are inspired, enthused, excited about discovery and learning – so my goal as a teacher is to leave my kids wanting more and having the skills to find out more.
This year I’ve moved up a year level and am enjoying the more sophisticated conversations and explorations that we are having in the classroom. It’s exciting to see kids motivated because our classroom is using 21st Century tools for their everyday teaching and learning.
This blog is really for my reflective practise – about things that have worked (or not worked) in my classroom and to share these with others in my PLN.
I should also mention that I’m a Kiwi living in the North Island of New Zealand (just north of Wellington).
