Plough Green Pre-school

Dear Parents and Carers,

I hope that you all had a good week. All of the children enjoyed the farm this week.  We had donkeys, sheep, pigs, goats, chickens, muscovy ducks, guinea pigs, goslings and a dog.  The children were able to brush and touch the animals if they chose to.  There was also a wooden cow that could be milked (water).  And as though they didn't want to be left out , all of our butterflies have emerged this week. We haven't released them yet due to the weather ⛈️

Stories we are enjoying this week: 
'Two Feet' by Gwen Pascoe and David Kennett in the two year room.   This is an extra large book.  
'Nothing Can Frighten a Bear' by Elizabeth Dale, illustrated by Paula Metcalf in the three/four year room (AM story)  This is book twelve from the NELI programme. This is a research based reading programme to support children's oral language development.  
'Say Hello to the Animals!' by Ian Whybrow and Tim Warres in the three/four year room (PM story)  

Just for fun: 

Why not talk to your child about our farm visit?  Can your child describe the animals, can you make animal noises together.  Do they know what the animals eat?
