Kia Ora, 

My name is Vanessa Belsham known as Miss B to the Tauwhare School community. I am thrilled to be back at Tauwhare School and to be a part of your childs learning journey in Room 2. I have been a qualified teacher, with a Bachelors degree in teaching Primary for the past 14 years and have completed all of my teaching practise in Country Schools. I am also a mum to 3 children of my own aged 4, 8 and 9 which has added to my enthusiasm for children and their learning.

I am passionate about teaching your tamariki and scaffolding their learning to become confident, enthusiastic, proud life long learners. Learners who understand how to manage them selves and continue their love of learning. 

In Room 2 we are developing an environment where your tamariki take ownership and care for their learning and the work that they produce. 

I look forward to meeting you all and please feel free to pop in to Room 2 anytime or email to set up a time to meet.
