1. I was into music in my younger years - I played trombone and sang in the NZ Secondary Schools Choir - we won an international singing competition in Hawaii.
2. I went to ballet classes for eight years as a child and was in two NZ Ballet productions in the children’s chorus - then puberty struck!!
3. I used to have an addiction to a chat network called IRC around 10 years ago. I could spend up to 4 hours a day chatting to people I’d never met (a bit like SL for some people these days
4. I spent four and a half years in London and travelled somewhere new every school holidays. I often went on my own meeting people along the way. I miss the travel!
5. In London, I worked as a specialist ESL teacher for two and a half years and wrote a booklet on software and internet sites to support ESL learners sold through an organisation called BLEN.
6. The silliest thing I have ever done as a teacher was when teaching about Native Americans. I decided, in order to give the kids more motivation to design totem masks for art, to perform a little ceremony on them to help them find ‘their inner totem spirit’. You can imagine the reactions of some of the parents!!!
7. I met my husband by moving into his flat.
8. We had an Art Deco wedding because I really love everything about that time. We went to the Art Deco festival in Napier to research it.

Now - I don’t know many people to tag that haven’t had this already but here goes.
Room 5 at Arakura School
Mrs Kelso’s Class in Auckland
Mr Frater’s Class In Wellington

And that’s going to have to do
