Kia ora all,

I am a registered NZ teacher who has been working as a reliever this year, and now with school closures, I am looking for online tutoring work.

I trained as a primary school teacher (completing a Masters of Teaching and Learning with Distinction), but I have also previously tutored high school students in Math and Science (due to my expertise from previously graduating with first-class honours in a Bachelor of Engineering).

So I am available to tutor in all subjects from year 1-9.
and to tutor maths and science for all year levels up to year 13.

For more information,
you can email me on michelledeacon@gmail.com
or txt me on 027 934 8981

Thanks,
Michelle

Free rabbit

Howdy neighbours!

I've ended up having to rescue a rabbit yesterday from a rather complicated (and not great) situation. The owner has now asked that I try to find a home for him as she is in Northland and won't be able to travel down to collect him.

Howdy neighbours!

I've ended up having to rescue a rabbit yesterday from a rather complicated (and not great) situation. The owner has now asked that I try to find a home for him as she is in Northland and won't be able to travel down to collect him.

So I'm wondering if anyone would love a gorgeous 14 week old white male dwarf rabbit. I would keep him if our situation would allow but it's driving one of my dogs crazy and we don't have a suitable outside area.

It would be great isolation entertainment for kids :-) He is also apparently litterbox trained but suspect he may need to be refreshed on this.

My number is 021 847 886

Hello everyone ,
I hope you’re all safe and healthy.

I thought in these times of isolation and uncertainty with work and what not , we could use this time to get into some creative spaces within ourselves to produce some awesome projects as a collective .

If anyone has some ideas for creative challenges for us all to participate in then please don’t be shy (eg. 7 day drawing challenge, poetry, writing , dance, photography etc.) .
It can be as broad or as specific as you like .
Something you think would work well for everyone to take part in and have abit of fun with . ☺️

Let’s get creative and take this time to get into something new or get back into those things we wish we had more time to do. (Unintentional rhyme 😛)

Stay safe and if you’re feeling abit down or lonely and want a good ol yarn then please feel free to reach out to me , it can be hard to keep your head above water during these times and that’s totally understandable.
