July Already?!

Without fail, Farley posts the Currently link up and while I am managing to massively fail at any sort of other posting at the moment, I'm still hanging on by joining in each month!

Listening - To the soundtrack from 'Oliver' pretty much non-stop since I went to see my school's production of it last week. Though none were from my actual class (the older age groups' production) it was so nice to see children I know well performing their little hearts out!

Loving - That term ends in only 3 more days... goodness its been a long year!

Thinking - That term ends in only 3 days... there is so much still to do!!!!

Wanting - To take my friends and colleagues to my new school, I am going to miss some of them so much :(

Needing - To pack. I have literally 2 suitcases to fit everything I have got left here (shipping went last week) and I'm not convinced its all going to fit in.

All Star - Planning ahead. I'm the person who has their planning and resources done in advance if at all possible as I hate working on the fly.

Anyway, why not head over to Oh' Boy 4th Grade and check out this fab link up? And if you've made it here from there, please leave a comment! I would love to hear from you!!

Just June

I'm struggling at the moment if I'm honest. A lot is going on and thus this blog is being sadly neglected... its the most I can manage to throw together this Currently post!

Listening - I adore Meghan Trainor and have had her album on repeat recently, was looking for something else to listen to and heard this song on the radio... looked it up to discover it features Meghan Trainor too! Accepted the inevitable and its now top of my playlist!

Loving - It's Saturday and I've had a lie in... therefore everything is automatically just that little bit better!

Thinking - Only 4 weeks to go at this job... and this country!!

Wanting - Shipping needs to go and neither classroom nor flat is packed... help!

Needing -  End of year reports need to be finished this week, and they are holding up my packing etc

Summer Lovin' - Seeing friends, family and the UK for one whole month before new job!! 

Must Be May

Only three days into May and still not able to make it into the top 100 of Farley's Currently. Such a popular and fabulous linky party!!

And here is mine for this month...

Listening - Britain's Got Talent (or possibly Britain's Got no Talent judging by some of the acts so far!!)

Loving - I was persuaded to go out drinking last night with some work colleagues (I'm really too old for this!), however, I woke up this morning and no hangover! 

Thinking - holiday plans are coming together! I have 2 months left here and I've got 3 weekends away planned to try and tick off places on my bucket list.

Wanting - a long weekend, seriously half the world seem to have a long weekend with Labour Day, Wesak, May Day or something and I'm at work!!

Needing - With only 2 months left I really need to start getting myself organised!

Summer: yes - Move country, that is happening!! ARGH!
hope - Not hyperventilate about said move, this is unlikely to happen...
dream -  The move goes well and I have made the right decision in uprooting myself!

Flash freebie - a new product at last!

I don't normally use my blog to write posts that are purely about products, but since its been so long since I actually managed to create a new product I thought I would make an exception today. A request from a reader has led to me to adapt one of my previous products and create...

This is to help with the common letter reversals 'g' and 'q' by providing card with the letters in different fonts and colours, which the children then need to sort into the correct groups. Mats have picture clues on to help identify the sound.

And the best part of this post? I'm going to make this product absolutely free for the next week! Head over to my TpT store and grab this product (click on the image above or here).

After the next week, it will become a paid product. If you like this or any other of my products I would really appreciate feedback and constructive criticism for any future products I might produce!

Happy weekend all :)

Photo Frenzy

I kept meaning to post a Five for Friday or Sunday Smorgasboard or some sort of update at least to use up some of the photos I have been taking over the last few weeks, but I completely failed. And so I am just going to have a bit of a photo dump to update you all!

Easter Craft Afternoon
Parents and kidlets enjoyed making a variety of crafts together just before the break. Most of the inspiration came from Pinterest!

Japan in April
Hundreds of cherry blossoms and generally great holiday!
