mega cool seeing you!

It was amazing to catch up with all my old class at Loburn today. I've missed you kids so much! Hope to visit again soon. Have fun on Pet Day and have an AWESOME school camp! Keep in touch :)

Science Trip to Tauranga Boys' College

I took my Year 5/6 class to Tauranga Boys' College to do some cool experiments. Check it out!

Don't Stop Us Now - Our Wedding Dance!

Check this out! It's taken me a while to finish this because our 'official' wedding camera ran out of tape during the dance. I've had to 'patch' together 4 different videos that friends and family had. 

Our dance certainly wasn't traditional but we had heaps of fun doing it! 

Let me know what you think :)

Black Water Rafting @ Waitomo!

Heather and I are lucky to have a good mate that works at the Waitomo Caves. In the weekend he took us Black Water Rafting and it was AWESOME! Check out these pics...

Road trip in Dixie!

Heather and I FINALLY managed to get away in Dixie for a weekend and what a weekend it was! It rained SO much + one of the tyre's blew out and we had to navigate around a fallen pine tree across the road. We had such a choice long weekend!

Wonkey Donkey!

For my school's Book Character Day, Heather helped me (remember I'm not that flash at art) make a Wonkey Donkey mask! It was such a fun day because so many kids came running up to me wanting me to tell the story and sing the song! Good times :)

graduation and tramp!

Last week Heather and I made a flying visit to CHCH for Heather's graduation and a quick tramp (we really miss the South Island!). Here are some pics.

We'll be sure to visit Loburn next time we're down!

Heather, me and a French hitch hiker called Michael that we picked up on the way, hanging out in Bealey Hut.

The classic old Bealey Hut.

I'm so proud of her!

job offer

I got offered a job today! Woo hoo!

I love teaching!

Hi everyone! I've been getting lots of relieving work lately and have been absolutely loving it, ESPECIALLY the Year 5/6 class I had today! I told them all about Korimako class and showed them our class photo. I hope you're all having an EXCELLENT year. Keep in touch, I'm only a message away :)

Blobby! Blobby! Blobby!

Mr Blobby is alive and well!

In fact, he met some new friends this week at a school in Tauranga and they LOVED him! I have to admit though, he's starting to look a little scary - look at his eyes!

Mr S-W gets married!

Alright folks, here are a few pics from our wedding as promised. It was an AWESOME day! One of the highlights would have to be the water fight...cool fun!

no internet!

Hi everyone. Awesome to hear you're all loving your new classes - I told you there was nothing to worry about! I don't have internet at home at the moment but should have it up in running in a week or so. Keep posting your comments!

Arrived in Tauranga!

Hey everybody! Heather and I have just arrived in Tauranga. We're staying at a camping ground until we find a house to rent. The wedding was AWESOME! I promise to post some pics soon! Have an excellent first week of school - the new teacher is VERY cool!
