Twinkl Twinkl you are a STAR!

I can not believe that it is 2018!!!  Happy new year to you all, by the way!  I have really enjoyed this break - a part from the awful cold I ended up with over an entire week.  Sitting here knowing that I am going to back to work next week and thinking about my new topic on Bears fills me with a slight twang of dread - I really don't want this holiday to end!

I casually flick through my folders,  spend a few minutes searching through Google, contemplating making my own worksheets and finally I pop into: 
www.twinkl.co.uk
What is it about Twinkl that makes everything seem so simple?  The fun layout of their website with the happy colours may be the key but I have to put it down to the fact that I have yet to search for a resource and come up with nothing.  Twinkl gives me so many resources and then to add to that gives me even more suggestions!  I love that teachers have created the worksheets and the graphic design has a familiarity that my pupils love. 

Allow me to show you some of the wonderful resources I came across today.  

Check out this one:  

Twinkl resource for 2018
​A great resource for starting this year!  I love the real photographs and again the simple layout that I know will suit my P.2 class.  Again Twinkl then suggests other resources to support your resource.  It threw up this resource:

​A full resource pack on starting the new year!  Or if you wish to keep it all simple this simple activity sheet would be perfect:
https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t-t-2545466-ks1-first-day-back-after-christmas-resource-pack
https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t2-t-857-new-years-resolutions-activity-sheet.
​Here are some lovely of the lovely resources I found for my Bear Topic.  I love the fact that there are so many resources and great variety:
Bear headbands
Goldilocks & The three Bears
Lesson Plans
​Before long my nearly empty folder was starting to bulk up with great resources that I know will inspire my pupils.  The great aspect of Twinkl is that this all took a mere 15 minutes!!  Time to think about taking down my Christmas Tree.  I wonder if Twinkl could help me with that too!!!???
