Who Am I?

I am a Primary Science Teacher Fellow. The Teacher Fellowships are funded by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment and administered by the Royal Society of New Zealand. The Fellowships are designed to support the effective teaching of science in primary and intermediate schools.
Teacher Fellows are placed in a science organisation for two terms to gain an appreciation of the Nature of Science - doing science work in a 'real life' setting. I am lucky enough to be hosted by Wellington Zoo.

Dunedin

I spent the last week in Dunedin on a course with the other teachers on the Teacher Fellowship. It was a very busy week and it gave me a lot to think about.
 

The Otago University grounds looked spectacular. We had lots of good food (maybe too much) and lots of interesting conversations.
On Wednesday we got taken out for a tour of Dunedin in some old Jaguar cars. We even climbed to the top of Baldwin Street and rolled some Jaffas down (and I thought about Rm 7's Jaffa Roll - Jaa-faaaa Rooooolllll). It doesn't look that steep in my photo but it was hard work going up and even harder going down.
Our rides for the evening
