Signs And Labels

Has anybody got a link to where I can find some signs and labels for Pre School areas eg sand, water, story corner etc. Don't want to buy them if I can print them off and laminate them myself. I keep thinking of little things which would be nice to introduce to start the new term and thought I would label all the areas with bright and cheery signs - Are we meant to have finished for summer???? please remind me? does anyone else suffer from this syndrome of 'work' in the hols? Went for a bit of retail therapy this morning (after a pretty stressful start to the week) and came home with carriers full of 'sale' items which I thought would be useful at Pre School . . . . …

Sassoon?

Hi Does anybody know where I can download the font 'Sassoon' for free? or has anyone used a different font for their 'writing' area? I am trying to make some alphabet charts, with letters which are easily recognisable (you know what I mean - no funny 'a' like the one I've just typed etc. ) Thought I'd found a good free font called 'national primary' - but the letter 'o' has got a funny squiggly bit on the top. Any help - much appreciated Thanks

Sick Cleaning

Hi has anyone heard of something you can throw on sick, which soaks it up, removes the odour, and disinfects - apparantly there is something which you can put on the area which magically removes it? I heard that you can then vacuum it up????? Can't see how that works? Wouldn't the vacuum be 'comtaminated?' Really sorry about the subject matter, but have had 2 children in as many weeks leave a lovely deposit on our carpet and it's a real pain to try and disinfect. Thanks

Hi everyone, After reading about the pro's and con's of visual worksheets and templetes etc. this has set me off onto contemplating the best way in teaching children the skills of reading and writing. At the school were I am about to start work in sept. they are quite academic and traditional. They mainly use Jolly Phonics and children learn more or less by rote. Simular sort of thing with writing - by tracing etc. The whole system of learning to write (practising letter formation) and reading is under review and a great time to introduce or change practise if in the best interests. Being an NQT not quite sure what I think due to lack of experience etc. How…
