Hooray - photos up loading now!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've just finished my first day of teaching in lockdown. To say I hate it is an understatement. I'm exhausted. All I've done is a microsoft teams meeting (upon where I discovered my camera isn't working and that it is a laptop issue which can't be fix ed for who knows how long... just as well I can't teach on-line, as it wouldn't be happening anyhow...! So all my school gets is my voice now...). I am exhausted after making a zillion phone calls and leaving a zillion messages (and barely anyone ever rings or texts back). And too many emails for my liking! I'm not an e-mailer or a texter usually...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I spent 3 hours yesterday putting together snail mail packs - $40 for postage for a week's worth of work! Running out of paper and ink too....</div>

I uncovered this cross stitch a few days ago. I've no idea what year it was started or even where half the threads are for it or what company it is even from! I've done a few rows...</div>

This is what I've been doing for a few days... some days I just wasn't into it; other days I've sat and made quite a few blocks. Each block takes 30 minutes - I'm up to #17 at the moment. I'm amazed at how much fabric/ wool etc is in this house... this is all scrap fabric!<br />

And last week I went on a dishcloth making bender! An essential worker friend asked for some. I think I've knitted enough for quite a while... again, I've plenty of cotton still to use!<br />

I think I could be doing a whole lot more, but really, there seems to be a whole lot of nothing.<br />
<br />
School starts again tomorrow - for my class, this is an entire class without internet or technology at home to do anything. I've been sending them stuff in the mail, but 2 weeks on, some of it is still out there. I had no time to do anything before schools shut - we had about an hour's notice this was happening. We had had PD on the Friday before (I was off as am asthmatic and was wheezy that day and was not sitting in a tiny room with 20 other people!); then only 3 of my students turned up on the Monday (I was still off as at 11am had been told by doctor I was going back to school till who knows?! I still don't know - NZ still in lock down level 4 for at least another 10 days. Even if we drop to level 3 , i still don't think schools will reopen as normal. And I'm also pretty certain many of my students won't turn up, even at level 2, until cases truly do drop. I'm also very worried about the area I work in, as it already has pretty dire health outcomes, over crowded houses, food availability can be touch and go etc etc). My students also will get boxes from the Ministry of Education and School Kit. It's all pretty generic stuff though and many of my students are ESOL, so it might be a bit beyond them too.... There WILL be an impact on them missing regular school.<br />
<br />
Who really knows where this will go. I am proud of our prime minister who has moved fast ! I'm so glad we went into a total lock down when we did!<br />
<br />
Crafting... well it's what keeps me going. I've been on a dishcloth bender knitting 15; have made 12 6x6 rows of little squares into bigger squares; unearthed a long lost cross stitch and found another quilt that just needs binding finished being sewn down!<br />
<br />
OH - can't seem to upload photos today... no idea why!<br />
<br />
Anyway, hope all is well in your part of the world. It's hour by hour here really and an awful lot of tea drinking which I love. I might bake some cupcakes today - a friend kindly dropped off 2 huge containers of flour for us!<br />

This is my Northeasterly remnants sock wool blanket. I have no idea when I actually started this.... but it id getting a good working for hours again now! Still seems to be a lot of sock wool to get through..... another row has been completed since this photo was taken. I am using wool that <a href="https://christinascolourfullive.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Christina</a> sent me years ago too - she has probably forgotten! Lots of different shades of pinks/reds especially.<br />

I finished my <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/timely" target="_blank">"Timely"</a> cardigan - knitted in 2 <a href="https://www.skeinz.com/" target="_blank">skeinz</a> 4 ply wool (they have actually been approved by the government as an "essential business" - I've truly mixed feelings about this. I've plenty of wool at home and won't be buying any at this time.. i'm not sure wool really is essential. I know knitting is good for well being, but still....). I do love it. It' still like summer here in the north of New Zealand anyway, so I don't know when I'll wear woollens (I did plenty of that in Europe in my very limited wardrobe in December/January BUT wearing possum was FAR TOO HOT even in low temperatures I found for me!).<br />
<br />
I spent quite a bit of yesterday putting together individualised packets of school work and fun stuff for students - it's been mailed , but how long it may take to get to their houses, who knows. I've had no mail for nearly 2 weeks and have only 3 letters left to answer.... My students have zero tech or internet at their houses - the great divide in New Zealand education.... I feel so stink about this, but can only post them work - when my stamps run out, that's it.... (not too keen on boys having to ask for stamps at supermarket....).<br />
<br />
Oh what very strange times. Life will change. Every day we hear of people losing their jobs. I do feel very lucky and in a position of privilege being a teacher!<br />
<br />
I hope everyone is managing to keep safe and has plenty of books, paper, wool, craft materials in their home. Flour?!? We were lucky to get a small bag the other day!<br />

I'm on day 5 of isolation.<br />
Last Friday (on a teacher only day) I woke up wheezy and coughing. I jumped in my car, drove to school, got there, looked at the small room where 15 of us were to spend the day and though NAH. Spoke to principal and drove home again! Made a doctor appointment for Monday.<br />
Monday didn't go to school, appointment face to face cancelled, but had phone conversation with doctor. She said in no uncertain terms was I leaving my house for weeks/months until the risk of catching covid-19 was low.<br />
Two hours later our lovely prime minister Jacinda gave all of New Zealand 48 hours to prepare for level 4 of lock down (on the Friday she had presented to the country levels of covid 19). Schools were given an hour and then into lock down. Over half the school hadn't even turned up - I had 3 students show! Schools were to be kept open for 48 hours for essential workers to find childcare.<br />
No students showed up after the Monday at my school, so we just shut down.<br />
Even a week ago NZ only had under 100 cases, none in ICU, no deaths, and about 5 in hospital. All overseas travellers.<br />
There is now community transmission at a local girls school, with students from my own son's school having had connections with this school on a bus.<br />
<br />
I'm gutted for my students - there is no way we even thought NZ would move so fast on this ( and I am SO THANKFUL we did !). Most of my students do not have devices, they do not have internet. parents don't have e-mail addresses. Most of them don't even have pencils and paper in their houses.<br />
I will print stuff off at home and mail to them... but it probably is really only busy work, as lots of parents are ESOL and can not help their children. I'm gutted I didn't pile my students up with readers, like I normally do.....<br />
<br />
I could ring them, but I think that will just upset me... I might e-mail the few that have e-mails today.<br />
<br />
So I'm writing letters (have nearly run out of letters to reply to) - mail is still *apparently* going through, so I have been posting in mail box ever day - luckily I ordered new stamps a week ago, as post offices are shut, as well as mail order stamps. I'm knitting the sleeve on my Timely cardigan. I've sewn cushion covers for the wooden dining room chairs. I'm watching "Offspring" 10 years after everyone else. Everyone keeps to themselves in their own room.... we have space as the eldest moved out last weekend.<br />
<br />
Keep well everyone, STAY AT HOME.<br />

this breaks my heart - a 5 year old not being present for 2.5 months already in his first year of school.<br />
This shows a country where there IS poverty; families who are struggling to rent; struggling to have one million dollars to buy a damn ordinary house in the biggest city in the country; families who can not afford basic health care/ a visit to the doctor; families with little support; families with little money to buy a school uniform or lunches; families who actually work full time, but can't afford basics.<br />
The answer might be to move out of the big smoke, go to a smaller town, but will they get a job, away from family support, go to schools who have language weeks, have another student in their school who speaks their heritage language etc etc.<br />
I don't know how to help at all,; this is impossible to keep a student where they need to be academically and socially. It's a NZ wide issue, but i still think most kiwis are in la-la land over poverty/costs in the expensive parts of NZ for just daily things!<br />
It's far from an equal society or even a society which offers the same equitable experience!<br />
Things ARE improving with the government in power, but i also see daily battles and too many needing help, and there is not enough help...<br />
<br />
teachers take the brunt for too much, as do little 5 year olds who have no say in being put in a postion out of their control.....Kimberley http://www.blogger.com/profile/17146156270002756428noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096451629478053028.post-22309287833702571152019-10-21T19:44:00.000+13:002019-10-21T19:44:00.986+13:00Long weekend in Wellington<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My school board kindly gives us all a 3 day weekend once a year. I flew the hour down to Wellington, New Zealand's capital city, to meet up with a friend from Christchurch (an hour south again). This dear friend actually used to be a penfriend of mine from Boston, MA, USA and we first met at my wedding 23.6 years ago! We've met in Boston, the UK and Australia over the years and she has now lived in NZ for 12 or so years.</div>

I was so delighted to go and visit NISA - it's underwear made by former refugees in Wellington and I own quite a few items of theirs. Such a good cause. <a href="https://nisa.co.nz/" target="_blank">https://nisa.co.nz/</a> Perfect for Christmas gifts - I've bought underwear for the entire family. Quite neat to see where they sew everything! I was part of their crowd fundraising event to get special machinery to enable them to be able to sew men's underwear.<br />

I'm collecting Christmas picture books - in a few more weeks I'll wrap them up and students can take turns at unwrapping one day to read. We finish school on December 12, so I will start Christmas stuff in a month for so (although one told me on Monday there was only 70 odd sleeps to go! We countdown for student birthdays etc!).<br />

I'm off school for a few days - off to doctor shortly - not a fab start to term 4 when there is so much to do.........Kimberley http://www.blogger.com/profile/17146156270002756428noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096451629478053028.post-27947364174406231752019-10-11T11:07:00.002+13:002019-10-11T11:07:55.815+13:00WOW... things carry on....I'm still here! I'm posting a lot more on instagram these days (kimberleyatk).<br />
<br />
It's the school holidays - the "holidays" every 10 weeks or so save me as a teacher! From this Monday, I've only 9 weeks left of my first school year teaching! (New Zealand schools start the school year from January 29 this year and finish anywhere from Dec 12 - my school - to December 20 - each school makes its own decision!). It has been the most incredible journey and i've learnt a TON! I do love the NZ system - I'm in a single cell classroom (becoming uncommon as walls are disappearing across classrooms and there can be any number of students in a huge space with multiple teachers teaching - team teaching) and have my own group of students and do our own thing. I can pretty much teach how and what I want ( there is a curriculum, but how I choose to teach it is up to me and my students too, as they get a say as well!). It is awesome. It is HARD! It is the HARDEST thing I've ever done in my life. 60-70 hour weeks are a killer - I'm working on getting that down - I'm glad I've teenagers/one adult "kid", as crikey, how any teacher with their own young children does it, is beyond me! It is your LIFE! It seems like it is your ENTIRE life!<br />

I'm not looking forward to the 9 weeks with testing and reporting and my own assessment stuff... I got up to 24 students, but am down to 15 now, which is awesome, but I am constantly thinking how to move them up (lots of our students come in at a 3 year old verbal/ developmental age, low social skills etc) - there has been MAJOR progress, but still not where they should be. But then I also think, why on earth are we making 5 year olds read and write?! It is crazy! European students don't start till they are 7 and they end up at the same place as our kids.... sigh. I have to do my job...<br />
<br />
This is my classroom which I re-set up 2 days ago....<br />

I'll do my best to keep blogging again.... hope all is well with all....Kimberley http://www.blogger.com/profile/17146156270002756428noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096451629478053028.post-89797895844935565932019-03-24T13:37:00.000+13:002019-03-24T13:37:00.818+13:00?I don't really know what to call this post. A week ago a lunatic went on a gun rampage at two mosque's in the South Island city of Christchurch, killing 50 innocent children, women and men who were going about their daily lives in a peaceful way. This senseless event has shaken our country and made everyone look at themselves and how they view others. We've had two memorial events at school in the past week and I'll say that I'm glad I have five year olds as there has been little talk from them to prompt me to say more, of which I'm thankful.<br />
There is a lot of anger and disbelief with many saying "this is not us". Our prime minister Jacinda Ardern has shown incredible leadership around this, with her face even beamed onto the world's tallest building in Dubai as a mark of respect for the dead and her.<br />
<br />
May the world come to its senses and nothing like this ever happen again in New Zealand. Jacinda has moved fast to ban all military style weapons - I don't understand why anyone needs a gun personally. We now have armed police outside mosques/schools etc - this is NOT New Zealand - I'd never seen any police armed here, until this hideous event happened.Kimberley http://www.blogger.com/profile/17146156270002756428noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096451629478053028.post-22466161106743048852019-03-10T18:28:00.000+13:002019-03-10T18:28:51.664+13:00Singapore<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

8 weeks ago we were in Singapore. it really seems like a lifetime ago! It was such an incredible city - I could truly easily live there if it wasn't for the HUMIDITY! I'm a hot person and walking out of aircon for as little as 10 minutes there did me in! I learnt very fast NOT to wear skirts or dresses in such humid weather or I'd pay for it fast! I travel very lightly, but didn't really count on clothing sticking to me! We ended up in a routine of going out early morning (and things open much later there - even finding breakfast to us was challenging - we basically went to the local Food Republic every day!) , coming back around noon, diving into the swimming pool to get cool, a change of clothes and then repeat a few hours later, and then back late at night for the 3rd swim or shower! I easily went through 2 full changes of clothing a day. I hence ended up at a Uniqlo finding $S10 shorts and buying multiple pairs (as I seriously travel very light - 4 of us coming home had only 47kg of luggage in total and we did shop too!), plus some stuff for my work wardrobe. I also shopped at Muji (stationery and tees) and Kinokuniya - OMG what an INCREDIBLE HUGE, HUGE, HUGE bookshop! Thrilled to find Chinese New Year books for school! I also went out to the IKEA to find some stuff for school.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These photos show the downtown area on our first day there. We were totally blown away by the cityscape - well the entire city island really. It was so easy to get around, so very safe, so some days we all just split up and went out own way to see our choice of musuems etc - my teens are happy at roaming around cities by themselves and the MTR train system is the best! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The only really busy part of the city to us was Orchard Road - otherwise to us it seemed to be pretty uncrowded - even mostly empty train stations/trains. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is sooooo much to do - we stayed 6 days which was enough, as by then the heat had exhausted me! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
More another day - I highly recommend it for a holiday with a family of teens!</div>

<br />Kimberley http://www.blogger.com/profile/17146156270002756428noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096451629478053028.post-45318060523166183492019-03-02T16:26:00.001+13:002019-03-02T16:26:47.459+13:00A month has gone by...I started school with 4 x 5 year olds on January 29. As of March 1, I have 17 x 5 year olds!<br />
My days are crazy. They are mental. 17 x 5 year olds - many of whom are not ready for school and not ready for an hour of maths, an hour of writing, an hour of reading. It can be "sit down. Stop touching me. Sit down. Please do not hide. Please do not touch the stapler. Please do not touch the sellotape. Why are you eating MY lunch? I don't know where your shoes are. I don't know where your bag, lunchbox, jersey, hat is. Sit down. Do not kick or hit him/her. Sit down. Let's talk about keeping our hands to ourselves. Please do not rub out your neighbour's whiteboard. Stop stroking my leg". It is EXHAUSTING .<br />
<br />
60 hour weeks. Attempting to teach 17 x 5 year olds to write/ do pencil grip all by yourself, to make sure you have all 17 of them all the time, lots of hugs, you're awesome, you CAN do it ( and you will! ;) ) , we just do our best, many with limited vocabulary.....<br />
<br />
I feel like I repeat the same things over and over and i do have a firm voice (of which I totally get sick of using, but when multiple crawling around, hiding, hitting, saying no etc etc...) but it is HARD!<br />
<br />
I think primary school teacher workloads, the mental strain , the pathetic pay etc is totally under-estimated. I have NO idea what my family are doing. I'm falling asleep after being at school from 7.30am to 4.30 - 5.30pm every day and then with shit Auckland traffic where it can take 45-90 minutes to drive a pathetic 17km home...<br />
<br />
It IS awesome, but boy am I whacked! And let me see - it's the weekend. I still have to plan for next week.....<br />

We're in the middle of a heatwave - well it's not the heat of Singapore, which we visited nearly 3 weeks ago. It is an INCREDIBLE city state/island - I had no idea how blown away I would be by the place. So much to do, so safe, that 4 of us could all go our own ways and find stuff to do (our musuem tastes differ!) and get back to the hotel on the fabulous MTR trains easily. The teens *loved* it (and the duck for breakfast every day!).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We splurged going up the top of the Marina Bay Hotel one night - this actually freaked me out as I am very sacred of heights - we were out on this platform thing overlooking the city. All I wanted to do was sit in the middle of the platform and not look down anywhere- even if the view was stunning (but no sitting allowed - Singapore comes across as a very conforming place...) I was too freaked to even take photos near the edge myself... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also learnt that I just can not cope with wearing skirts and dresses in Singapore - the heat is insane and sticky after 10 minutes... ouch!</div>

WOW - where has the time gone already? A LOT of it for me has been making classroom resources, shopping for the classroom, being in the classroom and planning. The life of a BT (beginning teacher) - unpaid I'll add until students arrive !!! (what other industry gets away with this?!? Even when we've done teacher only days and induction, we get zero pay until Jan 28...<br />
<br />
Anyway - I thought you might like to see progress... I'm very happy with it all. I must have taken 5 carloads of stuff in, but it all fits into the classroom well and I don't think it looks cluttered at all... and there are sill empty shelving space in the room, but empty space in cupboards... It's taken A LOT of work! Roll on a week's time and I'll be TEACHING - oh my. I'm rather freaked out....<br />

There's been book reading, knitting, letter writing and eating left overs from yesterday. I've probably taken the least amount of photos ever - one teen got a tee and a Christmas cake and that was it - it's actually been a fugal Christmas as nobody really minds or needs much! I do love my All Birds sneakers and Karen Walker ear-ring (to match the one bought for my birthday - the only ear rings I know sold as one and not a pair, so you can make your own pair!). And a couple of books too.<br />
I made a pavlova, cheesecake and Christmas mince pies from scratch yesterday - did really pull all the present buying, food decisions, food shopping together in 2 days and the tree took all of 10 minutes to decorate yesterday too. Simple, no stress and nothing over the top! How we like it!<br />
I hope everyone had / will have a beaut day!<br />

I've done nothing. No gift buying or anything. No food shopping or even much thinking about it. No tree. And family are here too in 3 days. I really just want to go to sleep for days. I'm whacked!<br />
I've been doing round trips to school twice a day as the teens have been paid to do gardening there. They've done a fabulous job. It's quite funny - they get paid, but this teacher who has spent days in her classroom organising it for 2019, gets zilch pay. What other job requires beginning staff to be ready for day one term one of a new school year and not get paid until students arrive?<br />
I'm already freaking out - all the planning to be sorted for a entire week and ready to teach fully from day one!<br />
But my classroom looks fab I think - furniture in the middle ready for carpet cleaners over summer.<br />
Here's a collection of photos taken over the last week - I was the only teacher in the school! All NZ schools are now on 6-8 week summer hols! I'm due back at school by January 17.... that is early, but all schools operate as individuals in NZ - 2 teacher induction days. Students come in on January 29. It's all exciting, but i have to make myself have a holiday!<br />

And the funniest thing of the day - an e-mail from the school telling us the 15 year old is receiving a prize at the year 10 end of the year prize giving and inviting us to it. The school is so large, they have separate prize givings for each year level and you can only attend via an invite.<br />
So the 15 year old HAS to go to school on the last day of the year now... we're laughing our heads off. He is annoyed he has to go to practices for it... No idea what it is either!<br />
<br />
It's my birthday weekend - yippee!Kimberley http://www.blogger.com/profile/17146156270002756428noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096451629478053028.post-28738332218828787842018-11-29T11:18:00.001+13:002018-11-29T11:18:09.230+13:00SIGHBattling to get the 15 year old out of the house every day now to attend his learning institution. Though I'm not really sure he learns much and still gets merit and excellence doing bugger all work. We have a week to go, with the usual "I'm not going to prizegiving/school on the last day of the year" (next Thursday). He wagged last year and actually got a social studies certificate (school is so big that only the major prizes are given at prizegiving and the subject runner ups get their certificates in form time).<br />
But then I also look at it that my kids are hardly ever sick, they don't do sport and get to spend days/ weeks away from school doing sports stuff, so a day off here or there (and this one does get 2-3 days off a term just because really!) really does not matter. If they ever had me up, I'd just say the kid is BORED all round; has been for 2 years. And yeah extension classes won't work; he's already in the top stream and has lots of NCEA credits a year ahead, and he is lazy too. Pushing him to do stuff he does not want to do does not work either! SIGH.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I am rather enjoying life. I swear yesterday was spend sorting paper work, getting stuff sent off to the NZ Education Council, Christmas cards and packages out, another knitting project started, a wee bit of stitching, writing in scrapbooks and a bit of online shopping (one of which has arrived less than 24 hours after ordering from half way down the country! Yay for <a href="https://www.tleaft.co.nz/" target="_blank">TLeaf</a>! Christmas Tea sorted!).<br />

We've been using Hello Fresh - I've actually cooked for 4 nights in a row people! That is HUGE - I've barely cooked all year! Will carry on, as everything we've had is well liked by everyone, which is no small miracle either! I actually think it is pretty good at $140 for 4 meals for 4-5 people (you truly do NOT want to know food prices in New Zealand - the UK and Australia are *CHEAP* to us kiwis! No Aldi here - only 2 supermarket conglomerates and not much choice! Most people I know spend $400 a week on food....)<br />

I've been having the time of my life pottering around home! It's awesome! We have all been on a high, but a couple of days after felt a bit deflated - I guess we've all been on adrenaline all year!! WHEW!<br />
<br />
Today I'm going into my school to look at the library and help spend some money on books - so excited !!!!!<br />
<br />
This has been such an incredibly HARD year, but I'm out the other side! YIPPEE.

I *adore* the UK band James. I saw them in concert last week. I turned around and Tim Booth was right there! He is very cool in my books! His house is right near the fires in CA - last time he was down under Trump was voted in, he reckons the next November he visits NZ, an apocolypse might happen while he is away!<br />

Hope everyone is having a lovely week! Gosh summer has come early - I've been in dresses for weeks now!Kimberley http://www.blogger.com/profile/17146156270002756428noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096451629478053028.post-49796557790090102862018-11-05T19:58:00.002+13:002018-11-06T15:13:40.985+13:00November 5The teacher asked me today why I didn't mention Guy Fawkes to the students and ask what they did in the weekend. It didn't even occur to me, as it isn't something we really do. I find it hard to fathom spending money on fireworks and the fact that we even "celebrate" someone who tried to blow up a building. Nothing to celebrate there. The students learnt all about it last week, tied in with religion and other stuff! I'd be rather happy with fireworks were banned here! I struggle with why we still even do Guy Fawkes in NZ. It's a relic left over from colonisation!<br />
BUT what we did do and I really hope every single NZ student in every single NZ school had the word "<a href="https://nzhistory.govt.nz/occupation-pacifist-settlement-at-parihaka" target="_blank">Parihaka"</a> thrown at them today, was spent over an hour on Parihaka - a significant event in NZ history which took place on November 5, 1881. This led onto amazing discussions around terrorism, colonisation, the NZ Land Wars, pacifism, conscription etc. The students were fascinated. This picture book we read is a good entry level book for discussion around Parihaka.<br />

I had awesome feedback from year 5 students today "you understand people" and "people need you". Awh shucks. They are horrified my last week is next week! One of them is a Bahai and I impressed her from day one just from the fact I had heard of them and could tell her a whole lot about her religion (part of my degree was religious studies). The students are all fabulous.<br />

I went to a scout group garage sale on Saturday and picked up lots of amazing bargains for home and especially my future classroom. I've got quite the pile for the classroom already.... In about 5 weeks time, I'll be able to see inside my classroom for the first time!</div>

The mobile library bus visited the school last week. It was very exciting and the selection was fabulous. I was so happy for this and every student has a library card. But on the other hand, it makes me sad that schools possibly will no longer buy books to boost their own libraries, if mobile libraries visit... hmmmm....<br />

We had this happen a week ago - first place in year 12 history is a pretty big deal. Oh - except to the kid! He does not really care... and would have loved to have stayed home and wag prize giving. Hates being the centre of attention and says he is just doing his school work.... Major school exams for all year 11/12/13 students start this week. We are the ONLY country in the world that does major external exams for 3 years in a row. I think the year 11 ones should just be canned... pointless really!<br />

The views over New Zealand are stunning - the South Island especially is quite hilly! The terrain here does change with our earthquakes though! These are of the South Island, as I was heading north back to the (yep!) North Island. It's an hour fifty minute flight from Dunedin to Auckland! Pretty fast really!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The view on the other side of the plane is probably more stunning, as it would have looked over the Southern Alps area. </div>

This area is known as the Marlborough Sounds which is right at the top of the South Island - it's quite stunning.<br />

We're now way back up the country, heading into Auckland, my city. Auckland is a harbour city - 2 harbours actually. It is also pretty narrow and at one point you can actually walk from one side of the country to the other side of the country! I believe that walk takes about 4 hours. One day I'll have to do it! We also have both white sand beaches (on the east coast of Auckland) and black sand beaches (on the West Coast of Auckland). Lots of people find this really weird! it's pretty cool seeing a black sand beach - but ouch on your feet in summer!! Auckland is New Zealand's largest city with around 1.7 million people. And one of the most multicultural. We have the largest Polynesian population in the world. Auckland has many, many volcanoes - if one ever erupts, we're probably all stuffed as nobody could get out of the city due to the normal daily gridlock that our streets/city is! Oh well.....<br />

I feel like I'm running around like a headless chook!

I adore small towns - even more so when they have historic buildings in them! (Auckland has a tendency to bulldoze anything and replace it with a shiny tower....).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These two are small towns in the South Island with an awful lot of charm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not sure I could ever live in a really small town (and I consider Auckland to be small... even though it's the largest city in New Zealand!), but i love visiting them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(One day we'd probably like to get out of this city - it's a traffic nightmare - that's the thing that drives me crazy! Houses are over $1 million for a truly ordinary house now, and my kids will never be able to afford to buy here and renting is going much the same way... ).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These small towns had pocket money houses to me - full of charm and delight. I'm not sure if there are many jobs though, though you do make of a place what it is I believe! I'm willing to live anywhere really and give it a go!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Great little op shops in both places. Wide streets, few cars, few people....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fantastic to spend a couple of hours wondering around, before getting back in the car to continue the journey further south! It's always good to support little townships and their independent businesses too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And neat to see more of New Zealand! There are just a few small pockets I haven't visited now! </div>
