School Supplies for the New Year

"Education is the most powerful weapon

which you can use to change the world"

-Nelson Mandela

In a week I will be heading back to school after the summer break, ready (hopefully) to start a new year. There are a lot of things that are exciting about starting a new school year; new teachers, new classes, that new elective, but the thing that I love most (I know, I'm crazy!) is shopping for school supplies.

Last Wednesday Abi and I went shopping to get all our books and stationery for the new school year. I think I might have finally worked out a system that will work! (We will have to wait and see though....). Here are the things we bought.
(I promise there are links, just click on the name of the item)

Aqua Drops Binder
I will use this binder for keeping track of all the sheets and assignments I get. I also got a set of dividers and folders to separate my classes.

Binder Paper
For subjects with only a few notes, and to re-write notes at exam time I bought this binder paper, which fits perfectly in the binder.

Pencil Case
I couldn't resist this pencil case (ok, make-up bag) when I walked past it. It fits my calculator, small ruler, pens, highlighters and eraser.

Books
I got this spiral bound grid book for maths. I always get spiral books because they fold over and you can fit so much more on the desk.

And these books for my other subjects. The four subject ones I plan to use for science and SOSE because they both have four units in them.

Laptop
My school has a laptop program and I am taking the new surface pro this year. I love this laptop because of the pen and the fact you can write and take notes on it like a book.

I really hope that I can stay organised and productive this year, and hopefully, all these supplies can help with that. In the next few weeks, I will share a post on how I used my laptop at school. 

Have a great week.
