Andrew Deadmarsh Year 3 Teacher in Room 2

My name is Andrew Deadmarsh and I am the teacher of the Year 3 children in Room 2.  I trained to be a teacher in Christchurch although lived and taught in the UK for several years.  During this time I taught in East London and it was an interesting experience to work in the UK education system.  Living in London also provided some great travel opportunities around Europe.  I returned to New Zealand in July 2015.  My first experience of Oaklands School was last year as a reliever and I am really excited to be teaching full time this year at Oaklands.  Room 2 is a fantastic group of children who are working very hard and making some great progress in their learning.  

Outside of school I enjoy tramping and walking and am really enjoying living in New Zealand again and the outdoor lifestyle it provides.  I also enjoy running and keeping fit.  To relax I like reading and I am working to improve my guitar and cornet playing.
