Lovely to meet you!

Hello!

I've been finding out loads about some fellow bloggers through this great linky by Stephanie from Falling into First and thought I would join in with the fun!


I am a UK blogger and live in the south of England about an hour away from London. This September I will be starting my 10th year of teaching (I feel shocked to say that - where have the years gone?). Most of those years were teaching in Year 6 (I believe that is the equivalent of fifth grade - 10-11 year olds?) but I moved to Year 2 (first grade?) last year for a change and a challenge and that is where I am staying for the time being. 

 THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS...


My gorgeous cats, reading, my sewing machine, making things pretty, making lists, stationary, laughing with my sister, taking photos.

 IF YOU WEREN'T A TEACHER, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO BE?

I always wanted to be a librarian or more recently I'd love to open a little sewing shop somewhere!

THREE LITTLE WORDS THAT DESCRIBE YOU.

Loyal, hardworking, mischievous.

FINISH THE SENTENCE, "_________,  SAID NO TEACHER EVER!!"  

"I'd love to jump through those hoops for you, said no teacher ever!"

Q: IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY AND YOU CAN INVITE ANYONE {DEAD OR ALIVE} TO THE PARTY. WHO ARE YOU INVITING?

I am not a birthday person and avoid celebrating where possible. Just my family will do!

Q: IF SOMEONE WROTE A BOOK ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WHAT WOULD BE THE TITLE?

Just try your best.

 Q:YOU GET TO PICK ONE SUPERPOWER. WHAT IS IT?
Teleportation or the power to be up, ready and looking amazing in the blink of an eye!

Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE OR SAYING?

Q: IF YOU HAD TO SING ONE SONG ON AMERICAN IDOL, WHAT WOULD IT BE? 

Independent Love Song - my sister and I used to love warbling along to this together!

 Q: ARE YOU A MORNING PERSON OR A NIGHT OWL?

I struggle so much to get out of bed and get really cranky at night so I'd say I was a late morning to mid afternoon person really.

Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE RESOURCE THAT YOU'VE CREATED IN YOUR TPT SHOP?
 
I love the word work products I've made as developing vocabulary is so important at our school where children have very low starting points when they join us. I'm having a giveaway of 3 sets of 5 of those vocabulary building products at the moment so feel free to enter (you have nothing to lose!). I'll put the link at the bottom!


Q: SHARE SOMETHING WE MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU!


Pixie Anne is a silly nickname I am fond of from many many years ago (my real name is Gemma!).

Thank you for stopping by to find out a bit more about me today! Here is form to enter my giveaway
(I hope it is working properly - please let me know if it is not):



Make sure you link up with Falling into First!

  3. Are you kidding me!?? Gemma is a lovely name, but I love Pixie Anne! Great picture of your cats! I love when mine are actually sweet to each other- course it only lasts a few seconds and then they are chasing around the house again!
