I decided to give Vlogging, or “Video Blogging” a go. This is my first attempt during which I talk about why I want to try vlogging and introduce myself a little.

Let me know what you think in the comments, so I can decide whether to keep it up or not.

    Nice first vlog!
    Was a little weird watching you eat, but made it a bit different i guess… It was worth it to see your mo on video :)

    I have to say, I find your writing excellent, easy to read and entertaining (You mentioned you don’t think you were any good at writing).
    I know it can be tough to sit down and write – my blog feels more like a chore than a pleasure most of the time.
    I guess if you find vlogging easier, more fun and less time consuming: go for that. Maybe you could mix it up a bit?

    Yeah, I will still do some written blogs as well.

    I’m more interested in getting Ivy involved and getting some vlogs going with the both of us talking about the same things from different perspectives.

    Kia ora Ki – I like both your presentation style and your writing – entertaining and interesting but cut down on the swear words.

    Love,
    Dad

Movember Day 15

Movember Day 15

Movember Day 15

Well as you can see I choose a style for my Mo. It’s a little bit out there… who am I kidding is all the way out there.

I figured that in a month I wouldn’t have time to grow a mo long enough to curl up old school style, so instead I just shaved my beard into a huge curly mo! Personally I think it’s one of the greatest accomplishments of my life. Plus it was perfect timing for my new job. You should have seen their faces when I turned up for my first day. They just stared at me for a while then pretended to act like nothing was different. Then after about 30 minutes one of my new co-workers finally asked “So what’s up with the facial hair?” After I told her that I was just doing it for Movember they’ll all laughed and let out a big sigh of relief.

Funny thing is, not one of the parents or children asked me about or said anything.

Old Job New Job

Pipi's Preschool

Pipis Preschool

Last Friday, was my last day at Lollipops Educare. I left not really for greener pastures, but for different pastures.

As some of you will know I really want to open my own preschool one day. In order to do that I need to learn how to run one. That’s one of the opportunities my new job is offering me. Plus my new centre is a smaller with only 25 children a day instead of up to 75 at Lollipops. I like the smaller more homely feel. At times Lollipops seemed way to much like a business. Don’t get me wrong a preschool is a business and needs to be run like one if you want to keep it open, but that doesn’t mean that it needs to feel or even look like it to the teachers, parents and children.

Today, I started my new job at Pipi’s Preschool. I actually worked at Pipi’s for 3 weeks earlier in the year while doing a teaching practice for University. I enjoyed it so much I decided to move. That being said Pipi’s also needs a lot of work. The staff are great but things aren’t running the best in my eyes.

Of course, things can change and my views of what is optimal will change as well. I’m just looking forward to learning a lot and pushing myself into more of a leadership role at my new centre.
