My Flipping Classroom

Kia ora, my name is Polly Hamilton and I teach in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand. I am an English teacher and a dean of pastoral care. My Flipping Classroom has two main purposes: it is a place for me to reflect on my development as a professional, and a place for me to share my ideas, struggles and successes with the wider world. Actually, I forgot the most important porpoise. I'm an English teacher, this blog is going to be absolutely riddled with puns.
