Meet+the+teacher

||  Hi and welcome to my classroom webpage. I am so fortunate to be teaching a wonderful class of Year 4 students this year, at Sherwood Primary School. I am excited to split my time between two things I love: // teaching // and // raising my own family //. I certainly have a passion for learning and my greatest satisfaction is seeing students succeed and watching them develop their own love of learning. Prior to this, I taught at Pinehill School for several years, and before that, I started my career at Greenhithe Primary. Whilst I was born in Budapest, my husband and two daughters (Jess & Amy) were all born in South Africa. We have lived in New Zealand since 1998. A tabby named Tigger and a Spoodle named Charlie, complete our family. ||

We love having the access to 21st century learning and engagement that this provides. We have also realised that computers have a far wider ranging use that simply word processing, email and google in the classroom.

Students use computers to support and enhance their learning in all subject areas, whether its Numeracy journalling, viewing or making film for theme research / presentation or listening to podcasts during reading. Digital resources support and engage students with varied learning styles and abilities. || || The Fabulous Year 4 Teaching Team Working hard on Teacher Only day. ||
