Plough Green Pre-school

Dear Parents and Carers,

I hope that you all had a good half-term break.  This week the younger children have enjoyed playing with their mini-me's, carrying them around to different activities.  These are Jenga blocks with their photos attached, there are also mini-me's of the staff which the children have been bringing to show us.  This is a lovely way to help children's growing sense of self.  The older children have been practising their turn taking, sharing and social skills when playing with the large vehicles and the Happyland village. 

Stories we are enjoying this week:  
'Nosey Norman' by Sam Lloyd in the two year room.   We use a story sack with this story.  
'Titus's Troublesome Tooth' by Linda Jennings and Gwyneth Williamson in the three/four year room (AM story) 
'Brush your Teeth Max and Millie' by  Brooks and Desideria Guicciardini in the three/four year room (PM story)  

Just for fun:   This weekend why not see if you and your child can save all of your soft single-use plastics   e.g. sliced bread wrappers NOT old shampoo bottles etc, and bring them to pre-school (for the box outside by the notice board) for recycling.  (If you can take it to a supermarket yourself for recycling that would be great).  As a setting we are trying to raise awareness around single use plastics.  It is surprising how much we use, e.g. sliced bread wrapper, fruit and vegetable bags from the supermarkets, wrapping on products used around the home in a week and if we can save these from going to landfill it will make a small, but not insignificant, difference to our planet for our children and future generations.  You can talk to your child about why we are doing this, which we will also talk about at pre-school.  PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH PLASTIC BAGS ETC AS CHILDREN CAN SUFFOCATE.  STORE THEM OUT OF REACH.

  
Have a lovely week
Plough Green 😁
