A great start to the school year with Forum Algarve

The return to school is always a time for new opportunities, challenges, and, of course, preparation. We know that beyond the usual supplies like notebooks, pencils, and backpacks, there are other items that can make all the difference in daily life and organisation. That’s why we’ve gathered everything essential to kick off this new school year on the right foot!

 

Everything you need for a great return to school

 

Time management 

One of the keys to a successful school year is, without a doubt, organisation. A good planner can be your best ally for scheduling study hours, keeping track of tests and exams, and managing extracurricular activities.

At FNAC, you’ll find a range of planners, from the simplest to the most detailed, with space for notes, to-do lists, and even stickers to make planning more creative and fun.

 

Textbooks and required reading 

At Bertrand, you can pick up or order the necessary textbooks for the school year, as well as the required reading books recommended by the National Reading Plan (PNL). And for those who like to spend their free time with a good book, Bertrand also offers a wide selection of books perfect for leisure reading.

 

Discover also 5 books that should be on your reading list.

 

Review and application of study material 

To complement the school textbooks, workbook companions or summary guides are an excellent tool for reinforcing the material and offer extra preparation. Whether you want to deepen your knowledge or prepare for tests and exams, Bertrand bookstore has a variety of options, suitable for every age and subject.

 

School supplies 

The return to school wouldn’t be complete without school supplies, right? Who doesn’t love picking out new materials or the fresh smell of a brand-new notebook?

At Centroxogo, C&A, and Sergent Major, in addition to toy and clothing options, you’ll find practical and stylish backpacks, along with other essential accessories. FNAC also has pens, pencils, drawing materials, pencil cases, and many other essentials available to help you get off to a great start this school year!

 

Technology: computers, tablets, and calculators 

The return to school also brings the need to prepare presentations, work in groups, or study more efficiently. Tablets and laptops are increasingly important tools for organisation, studying, creating assignments, gaining quick and efficient access to online information, and even attending classes or accessing digital content. For maths and physics subjects, a good scientific or graphing calculator is essential for simplifying equations, functions, creating graphs, solving formulas, and other advanced operations.

At FNAC, you’ll find a selection with various exclusive back-to-school discounts.

 

Smart notebooks 

Smart notebooks are perfect for those who need flexibility and organisation in their school day. With the ability to add, remove, or rearrange pages, these notebooks allow you to create different sections for each subject, reorganise notes, or even add accessories like dividers and calendars.

Additionally, they allow you to digitise your notes by taking a photo, and save everything online for quick access. And since they’re reusable, you can write, erase, and reuse them, making this solution not only practical but also sustainable. You can find them at FNAC.
