Five For Friday

It's Friday already - what?! This Friday I'm linking up with DoodleBugs for Five for Friday - so here's what I've been up to! 

 

I'm a huge animal person, so in the holidays we went to my all time favourite zoo, Colchester. I got to see huuuuge tortoises (my favourite!), I got to hold a hissing cockroach, feed a giraffe, elephant and I took some cute photographs of the chimps!

Last week I also went in to London - we visited Harrods where I was totally taken by the Christmas section and HAD to buy a bauble for our tree. We also ate lots of delicious food - including those GORGEOUS macarons from Ladurée. The raspberry had some sort of marshmallow filling and it was beyond delicious!

 These are the boards in my new room - I've gone for a super cute chevron 'theme' this year. I also backed them with hessian, they look a bit creased at the moment but I'm hoping it will drop out and as soon as the kids work is up you won't notice them.

 These were my end of year presents for my kiddos. We had been doing an 'Under The Sea' topic so I thought these tied in perfectly, inside there was a little fish puppet, fish stickers, a notepad, pencil, treasure coins and a jigsaw puzzle.

I eventually finished up my Phase 3 phonics pack and will soon be trying to finish off my Phase 2 and 5 packs - but this one took it out of me. Check it out by clicking on the picture.

If you head to my Teachers Notebook store here then you can get this pack for 30% off this weekend.

Hopefully the next few weeks of my holiday don't fly by - and come back to see more of what I'm doing in my new classroom this year!
