Plough Green Pre-school

Dear Parents and Carers,

Happy New Year and Welcome to our new children and their families joining us this term.  I hope that you all had a restful and healthy Christmas break.
This week we have been supporting our existing children back into the routine of our setting and have been settling in our new children.  The younger children have enjoyed the playdough in the role play kitchen and filling and 'pouring' the rice and pasta into containers.  The older children have enjoyed the big slide in their room, which is great for their physical development as well as learning to queue and wait for a turn. 

 
Stories we are enjoying this week: 
'Dear Zoo' by  Rod Campbell in the two year room.   We have a story sack with this book.   
'Jack Frost' by Kazuno Kohara in the three/four year room (AM story) 
'Say Hello to the Snowy Animals' by Ian Whybrow and Ed Eaves in the three/four year room (PM story) 

Just for fun:  Why not spend some quiet time with your child.  You could snuggle together on a chair/sofa with a cosy blanket and read some stories together.  Books with a rhyming text and a good rhythm are a good choice, such as The Gruffalo or Room on a Broom.  (We have a small book library outside of pre-school, you can borrow the books as often as you would like.) 

Have a good week
Plough Green  😁
