Lead teacher - Weka team

Kia Ora koutou!!!!! I am lucky enough to be in charge of Weka Team – our Year 5 and 6 students. I enjoy teaching Te Reo Maori, Visual Art, PE, ICT and Literacy. As a class Room 1 have fun thinking and learning together.

Teacher

I teach a delightful class of year 5 and 6 children. I love art and like to incorporate this into my teaching, we are doing some great things this year. Room 2 loves to get active for fitness and they also love reading, art, camps and funny money.

Teacher

I teach Year 5 and 6. My areas of special interest are Science, Mathematics and Gifted and Talented programmes such as Future Problem Solving, BP Technology Challenge and Young Einstein’s. In our class we are learning to think more deeply about what we are learning to do and to ask questions that show we are extending our thinking and learning. In Room 3 we enjoy the challenge of finding out the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of the world around us and of expressing our findings in creative ways.

Teacher

I teach a Year 5 and 6 class of children who are all very inquisitive and enthusiastic learners! My strengths are language and Physical Education however I enjoy teaching all subjects. Outside of school I am kept busy caring for my horse and competing on the weekends! I also play squash, karate, snowboard and enjoy water sports. I look forward to seeing you around at OPS.

Teacher

I teach a composite year 5/6 class. We enjoy an integrated programme and try to include singing, dancing, drama, visual arts and crafts and co-operative activities as much as possible as this makes our learning even more fun. We are lucky to have several computers in our class which also make learning fun as well as encouraging our inquiry learning. We find that real life experiences and situations really make our learning meaningful and take pride in involving ourselves in all sorts of things. Out of school I love to spend time with friends and family, enjoy outdoors especially our beaches and surf, and keep fit walking, swimming and now doing Zumba too!

Teacher

I taught in England for 7 years before moving to New Zealand. I love the outdoor lifestyle here and the weather! I enjoy working at Otumoetai Primary school and teach a class of year 5 and 6 children. I am passionate about the use of ICT across the curriculum and Room 6 children are too!
