Teachers...over here purrlease!

[Doowrah]

Hi

Can you tell me the name of the Microsoft Office type font used by all teachers in KS1 where the a/y/l's all look how they should be written at this age?

Mucho gracias, also if anyone got invaluable advice for planning Autumn literacy curriculum from Hamilton Trust for a beginner, I would grovel in supplication at your feet!

Boring boring ??

we use one called hfw curvasive- but we downloaded it from a disk, so don't know if you can get it without that.

Don't use Hamilton trust I'm afraid, so cant help there

Sassoon font maybe?

sasoon infant or if you haven't got it comic sans

Sassoon

Do you mean Sassoon? You need to check with your school to see which handwriting font they are using and what their policy says. I'm not in KS1, though.

What help do you need with the planning? Doesn't your school have any medium-term planning available? I don't use Hamilton as a planning framework, just to steal some lesson ideas from occasionally. (Have used one of the English units last year, but had to adapt it significantly,...basically used the initial idea and then made up my own stuff.) It's a bit tricky to plan before actually teaching the content and seeing how your class respond...and I'm saying this after now teaching the same year group for the fourth year in a row.

We use boring boring.

I use century gothic, which is just a normal windows/mac font

Cheers folks...what is going on with the boring..boring replies?

Doowrah, I think it's a font it threw me as well though at first

Yes, Boring boring is a font!

Sassoon is the "offical" font used by many schools and phonic programmes, devised by Dr Rosemary Sassoon for handwriting, to be easy to read

boring boring and comic sans are very different styles

sassoon is pre cursive boring boring starts from the line and comic sans is a ball and stick font check which your child's school uses with google images

boringboring is a font ok, interesting...I had thought my thread was proving too tedious and was inducing derision!

I will check out all you suggest folks, mrz you are indeed a 'font' of knowledge.
