Plough Green Pre-school

Dear Parents and Carers,

I hope that you have had a good week.  The older children have been learning our routines and have been 'introduced' to our visual timetable.  They have enjoyed playing with the cars in the garden, using the new wooden ramps and then positioning them where they would like them to go.  There have been some interesting designs already.  The younger children have been exploring their room and have especially been interested in our cause and effect toys.

Stories we are enjoying this week: 
'Dear Zoo' by Rod Campbell in the two year room.   We use a story sack with this story.  
Monkey Puzzle' by  Julia Donaldson, illustrated by Axel Scheffler, in the three/four year room (AM story)  
'The Leaf Thief' by Alice Hemming and Nicolas Slater in the three/four year room (PM story)  

Just for fun:  Why not go for a walk with your child and stop to listen to different noises in the environment.  What can they hear?  Birds singing, an emergency vehicle, a train going past, a dog barking?   Being able to differentiate between different sounds is an important skill for your child.  

Notices:
Outside of preschool is usually a pillowcase with washing in, tea towels from washing the children's cups, towels from water play, table clothes from cafe, sheets from the sleeping mats etc.  If anyone can help by taking a 'bag' home to wash and dry occasionally this really does help.  If everyone could take it once a term, it would help spread the load.  It would be really appreciated.  Thank you.

​Have a good week
Plough Green  😁
