Kree is on School Holiday

So far these holidays have been good compared to the drama we had during the last holidays :(
Remember Kanthan's Dad had a stroke on July 3rd and passed away on the 11th July? It is really sad when you lose someone close and you're miles away. Fortunately Kanthan made it to visit Middelburg and see his dad in hospital.

Now it's week 2 of the school holidays and I'm enjoying spending my sparetime at the computer in between washing curtains and growling at the kids. It's been a wet day since yesterday so no chance of going outdoors today. We had a lovely visit to Kalay and Segie's house in Hamilton yesterday and rushed back to Auckland to say farewell to Kasturi and Aunty Regina who were flying back to SA this morning. I have one more day to rest, then I shall be attending a 3 day ICT conference "Ulearn '07" at Sky Towers, Auckland City from 3rd - 5th October.
School reopens next Monday 8th October for the 4th and final term of 11 weeks.
Looking forward to visiting South Africa after 5 years this Xmas. Hope to catch you then!

What has Kree been up?

I must apologise for not keeping in touch as often as I could this year. It is proving to be quite a challenging year for me - what with studying after 22 years, it's not easy! I am presently doing a Bachelor of Education Degree in Teaching through Victoria University of Wellington. When I first started teaching in NZ five and a half years ago, it felt as if I had dropped the NZ Curriculum puzzle and I have been struggling to grasp the curriculum ever since. This BEd course is helping me put those puzzle pieces together, making teaching & learning an exciting and stimulating challenge. So far I have passed 4 assignments, and just handed in my 5th assignment on Friday - woohoo : )
I have one more assignment to do next term and then I shall compile my teaching portfolio due 2nd December.
If you don't hear from me - you know why!
Keep me in your prayers.
