Queensland Pre-Cursive/Cursive Font

Hi Donna and Team

First, let me acknowledge and thank you for your absolutely brilliant site. It has so many great resources that I have been able to put to use both as a Mum and a Teacher.

I just have one question - would it be possible in the future to include resources with the Queensland Pre-Cursive and/or Cursive Font? It would be handy for children in Years 2/3 and beyond to have this modelled to them with the resources we use in the classroom.

Thanks again.

Melissa

Hi Melissa

Thanks for your question. We have looked at this Melissa and although it appears to be simple to change fonts it actually is quite a process as each time a font is changed the layout changes and needs to be re-adjusted.

About every few months we do review adding the next fonts but with 5 different fonts used around Australia it adds another 5 fonts to the process.

It is tricky to find the 'time balance' Melissa (as we all know as Teachers).

We will continue to review this and will seriously consider doing a 'run' of particular resources for these further fonts only.

Thanks Melissa

    With a year one class we played What's the Time Mr Wolf - but instead of the wolf (myself) calling out 'It's one o'clock!" I used a clock with moveable hands.

  • I saw an interesting post on Pinterest the other day, showing a plastic, sandwich size, zip-lock bag that had had a piece of duct tape run along the base. The duct tape provided reinforcing that allowed holes to be punched through the bag for storage in a binder. I imagine you could run the tape down the side of larger zip-lock bags for a similar effect. This may not solve all your storage issues, but if there\'s just a few small games to go with a unit that\'s otherwise stored in a binder, it might help!

  • I was just thinking the other day that I needed some matching cards for numbers over 100 then today I came across the new parts of speech posters and thought I\'d check out the \"What\'s New\" section and there I found exactly what I had been wanting. Thank you so much for your wonderful resources. This is the first place I check when looking for resources and I\'ve been able to build a great collection since moving to the lower school grades last year. Thanks again!
