- Hello there
- My name is Taryn and I am 36 year years old. I live in a small coastal town on the KZN South Coast called Amanzimtoti, which is actually the town that I was born and raised. I did move away for a few years back moved back home. I lived in Austin, Texas for a few years while Aupairing and this really opened my eyes up to the wonders of looking after and caring for children. I think this is when I truly realised that I wanted to teach. After returning to South Africa I soon found a teaching job at a small Pre-Primary School Durban and have worked in a Pre-School environment ever since. I am currently teaching Grade R.
- The Foundation phase is such a special time in a child's life and I believe that we can really make a difference not only in the child's life but also their perception of school and education. We want to create a fun and creative learning environment where the children realise that learning can be fun. I want to be there for that phase of learning and am just so excited to see just how much the children learn and are capable of.
- My passions, other than teaching, is running, spending time with my friends and family and God. I think it is so important for one to have a variety of interests and passions to broaden their horizons and truly get the best out of what life has to offer.
- I am really excited to see what LSKM has in store for us this semester and am really hoping that I can learn new and exciting things that I can implement into my daily teaching. I always look at all the assignments and things that are released at the beginning of the semester and feel overwhelmed but I know by doing things step by step I will get through it. I would love to learn more about music in the Foundation Phase and exactly what is expected, how I can improve my musical knowledge and become more confident when preparing and presenting a music lesson.
