Welcome to my page on Room 6's wiki. We have had a great start to the term and I am looking forward to working with everybody in Room 6 this year. I'm really excited about the learning we can do and the places this will take us.

I live in Carterton in the lovely Wairarapa. I have been teaching for 7 years and this is my third year at Greytown School. Before I was a teacher I have worked as a children's librarian, studied Ecology at University, been a veterinary nurse and a horse riding instructor.

I have one sister who lives in England at the moment. I went to visit her and my new niece at Christmas and had a lovely time. They are all coming to live in New Zealand in August. I can't wait.

I have a dog called Milly Molly Mandy. We do agility together and it's great fun. I go to competitons all over the lower part of the North Island. I also enjoy reading and sometimes get stuck in a book and cant' hear anything around me. I would rather read a book than watch the telly! Another thing I like doing is walking in the bush. I love the way it feels and seeing all the different plants and hearing the birds. There are some great walks around in the Wairarapa, I feel very lucky.

This year my goals at work are to be an awesome teacher and help the school work towards our Green Gold award for enviroschools. At home I want to get Milly up to the intermediate in our competitions, work in my garden and read more non-fiction. I'm looking forward to it although I'm sure I'll end up in the Learning Pit a lot!

Here are a some of photos of me outside of school. Hope you enjoy them.
