Long Awaited Post...

Sorry it's been such a long time since I posted any news...it's more that I haven't had much to report on rather than being too busy to blog sadly!

I've been working hard at school with Parent's Evening, Reading Assessments and Report Writing to look forward to in the coming weeks, I'm being kept very busy!

It was lovely to meet the families of the children I teach and was amazed at how many of them thanked me for teaching their children which was really special. It was a very positive experience and made me realise how settled I am here and how well I have gotten to know my wonderful class. I have a few new children and am constantly trying to do new things with them as I get used to the New Zealand system.

The weather is certainly getting colder (although it's been a warm 20 degrees this weekend which is not bad for winter!) and the rain seems endless. I see rainbows almost daily and although I was in awe and kept pointing them out to everyone at first, quickly realised how common they are and that the New Zealanders just thought I was a bit nuts going on about them!

Currently just curled up reading Marley and Me which I'm really enjoying so will get back to that and promise to blog when I have some interesting news to share!

Hope everyone is well and thank you for continuing to check my blog! :)
