Plough Green Pre-school
Dear Parents and Carers,
I hope that you all had a good week. The children have been very excited to use their new wooden double water table in the garden. They have been using the water wheels and transferring the water between different size containers. The purchase of this was made possible due to the fundraising events organised by our committee who are currently helping to organise our Annual Open Morning.
Our Open Morning is being held on Saturday 13 June 2026 - 10am to 12 noon. You will have an opportunity to speak to the staff and other parents and support the pre-school. There will also be a few stalls such as Hook a Duck, biscuit decorating, a toy and bottle tombola and light refreshments. This year we will also be holding a sweepstake for the world cup. We will be sending a letter home with further information and some raffle tickets for you to purchase. We have displayed a list of items we require for our raffle hampers outside of pre-school if you would like to donate.
We will also be having two ‘Dressing up days’ on Tuesday 9 June and Thursday 11 June when your child can come in fancy dress in exchange for bringing in any unwanted new/unused gifts, chocolate or any bottles for the children’s or adults’ tombola that will be part of this fun day. Please check that all donations are in date. You only need to make one donation even if your child comes dressed up twice.
And thank you to everyone who donated clothes etc for our Happy School Bags collection. Together we raised a fantastic £111.15 which will be spent directly on resources for the children.
Stories we are enjoying this week:
'Noisy Farm' by Rod Campbell in the two year room. We use a story sack with this story.
'The Knight who said No!' by Lucy Rowland and Kate Hindley in the three/four year room (AM story) This is book seventeen 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 borrow a book from our book library next week. We have a variety of books so have a look for one you can enjoy together. You may like to recommend some books you think would be good to add to our library.
