Plough Green Pre-school
Dear Parents and Carers,
I hope that you all had a good week. This newsletter contains some dates for your diary. The younger children have enjoyed exploring through sensory play; playdough, shiny shapes and shiny strands of material. The older children have really enjoyed completing the jigsaw puzzles and using our story sack for The Very Hungry Caterpillar during free play.
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.
'Dinosaur Rocket!' by Penny Dale in the three/four year room (AM story) This is book eleven from the NELI programme. This is a research based reading programme to support children's oral language development.
'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' by Eric Carle in the three/four year room (PM story) The children wanted this book again. This ties in with our caterpillars, who are now chrysalis'.
Just for fun: Why not read a book or watch a program with your child and then ask them questions about it. Can they remember what happened first, what happened at the end? What part did they enjoy the most? This will help your child to use basic concepts as thinking tools.
