My name is Melanie. I have been a primary school teacher in Australia since 2001. I design and sell printable teaching resources for early years education through my business - From the Pond. I started From the Pond six years ago with my husband Brett.

I see myself as specializing in targeted small group activities and games, although I am also enjoying putting together some longer units and programs. I love using high quality graphics in my files that print nicely. I have recently started getting more serious about creating my own graphics as well. I love to read teaching blogs and also post information on my own blog.
