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).

Hey what a fantastic space to teach in! I am green with envy. What did you do with the office area? I was thinking it would make a fantastic studio for audio or video recording. And whatever happened to the library, did you get a new one?
What a wonderful transformation. Your ‘old’ library was an awful lot bigger than the little space that was the library when I attended Raumati School 1963-1969!
Hi Jane – we’ve got some new building going on and there’s a new library going up.
I’m going to use the office for recording like you suggested – and once the new library is built and our librarian is able to move in I’ll set up a desktop computer in there so that when kids have audio/video editing to do they can do it there.
