Peck Staff

I have realised that I have not including any of the great people that I work with at Peck. So here they are. Unfortunately I do not have everyone - but here are a few of the ones that I have had fun with!

First is the lovely Stephen -I wish I had fun with him! However, he was my lovely inturn (not sure that this is how you spell it - he is a trainee teacher) but he was only 20 something. Unfortunately his week was last week but he is moving to England to study in Manchester and I have his email address!





















Here are Shavonne (my teamie), Tosha (Curriculum Facilitator), Freddie (PE teacher from South Africa/NZ) and Ms Moore (Kindergarten teacher).
















This is me and Shavonne outside school:
















This is Libby (Freddie's wife). We play Volleyball with Freddie, Libby, Crystal (who you will see later), Jodie and Amanda.







This is Kim. She is our Grade 3 team leader:















We have been out with Crystal and Melissa quite a few times and they are a lot of fun in and out of school.



This is Jodie and Crystal on one of those crazy fun nights!



















This is me and Mirriam - she is in charge of ESL (English and a Second Language):
















This is Crystal, Mr Glenn (Art Teacher (and no!) and Amanda. Amanda is from Spain.

Riding, Skiing, Volleyball and Shooting!

The new year brought new exercise activities! Including riding, skiing, volleyball and shooting!

Penny, Paula and myself went off horse riding.


















We had a lot of fun, despite the fact we went at a very slow pace. For those who went horse riding with me in Colorado, I was very good and did not hold back the horse like Dave and I did!

So riding was just not enough excitement. So we decided that 10 of us would go to the mountains for the day. For in America taking an 8 hour round trip journey is simply going down the road!
















So we arrived at the mountains and bless those who believed they could get on their skies and ride the slopes!


Bless Jodie, who looked like a super model at the beginning of the day!





















And like this at the end of the day - bless her!




















But she was still smiling, despite spending most of the day on her arse as did lots of my friends.














Like Helen:

















However, Jodie and Helen did return to the slopes later. There was just me, her and Helen and I gave them both a few pointers and now they love it and can stay up!

This is Aoife and Hannah. I spent most of the day with them - riding those slopes baby!
















Yes, this is me. With my special hat (according to Hannah). I think it is actually quite attractive! Ok well it was warm!
