What have NPS staff been up to during Lockdown?
Have you ever wondered what your teachers might be up to when they are not teaching you through the computer screen or prepping awesome lessons for you to engage in?
Well today is your lucky day as we peek inside the life of teachers in lockdown.
Dreaming of a time when I could teach face to face in a classroom and when hairdressers were open! Until then, I will wear a hat, keep on teaching online, spend quality time with the family, read books, watch too much Netflix, eat too much food, and go on walks exploring a beautiful city!
