Room 12 created an poster using a large A3 size outline of a brain. The lower half is painted red and the upper part green. Using colour pastels the students created pictures of how they could calm their brain. These small pictures were then glued to the green part of our brain. This poster acts as a visual reminder of the actions students can take to change from a Red Brain to a Green brain state of mind.
My passion is to create a love of learning so my students become ‘lifelong learners’. My focus is the importance of acquiring knowledge so I can keep informed and keep my students up to date with new learning strategies.
I am a local here and enjoy all that Taupō has to offer. I love walking with my husband and dog by the lake or river, having coffee with friends, family gatherings, and gardening. When not in Taupō I enjoy being by the sea at Papamoa.
