Plough Green Pre-school

Dear Parents and Carers,

I hope that you all had a good week. The younger children have been practising their fine motor skills by threading 'keys' onto a 'keyring'.  The older children have been getting really creative with the construction toys, which was Lego this week.  

Stories we are enjoying this week: 
'Noisy Farm' by Rod Campbell in the two year room.   We use a story sack with this story.  
'Franklin Frog' by Barry Tranter and Emma Tranter in the three/four year room (AM story)  This is book thirteen from the NELI programme. This is a research based reading programme to support children's oral language development.  
'Monkey Puzzle' by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler in the three/four year room (PM story)  

Just for fun:  Why not look at shadows when you are out and about over the holidays.  Can your child see their own shadow?  Do they know what makes a shadow?  You could try and jump on each other's shadows?  You could see what length your shadows are at midday and at teatime.  Does their shadow look longer or shorter...

PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR CHILD IS SAFELY STRAPPED INTO AN APPROPRIATE CAR SEAT, EVEN IF THEY ARE ASLEEP, FOR ALL CAR JOURNEYS.
