Ah, I have had an awesome week at school. It's great to be back in the classroom - the children are lovely. It's really strange being at school, doing duties and following a routine. Good and bad - great for me to work within a structure but bad because you have to rush from one thing to another.

We've had heaps of fun in class, doing personality tests to find out what we are like. Knowing the children's personality helps me group them properly when I want them to work in groups. When they know their personality type, they can better understand why they are the way they are. They also learn to work with other personality types and to manage their own behaviour.

Had Thursday off to attend the Wellington Regional Science Fair. Pretty amazing entries for the Science Fair. Can't wait till we participate in it next year. Yeah. We had a great time learning about air and air pressure today. We are working on a unit on flight so the build up takes quite a while.............air pressure, lift, thrust etc and various types of forces.

Well, I'm away down south this weekend. Will miss the school ball but I booked my flights before I knew the dates of the ball. Nevermind.

Take care and God bless.

Well, here I am............ only 8 working days to the end of my Fellowship. Lots of work completed and done........... just tying up loose ends.

Will post photos and update my blog soon......just to say, "I am actually looking forward to returning to the classroom."

Bye for now.
