Who I Am?
SLJ BLOGGER - DANIEL BATY Hey everyone, I’m Daniel and this is my first year doing the Summer Learning Journey. I’ve just finished up the first year of study at the Auckland University Manukau campus on my way to becoming a primary school teacher. After I graduate I hope to teach in a Papakura school. I come from a very close family of 4 with Dad and an older brother and sister. I’ve lived in Papakura all my 22 years of life and have served the kids of the community for half that time as part of my church’s holiday program, running crazy games, laughing and learning so some of you might even already recognise me. I spend most of my time playing games and reading books that involve knights and magic. I love learning about ancient and medieval history and storytelling, and even studied to become a fantasy author before realising the excitement of teaching. I’m really looking forward to seeing the amazing work on the Kootuitui blogs this summer. Daniel
