Plough Green Pre-school

Dear Parents and Carers,

I hope that you all had a good week.  As you are aware it has been very hot over the last few days.  We have been doing what we can to keep the children cool by having water play, encouraging children to stay in the shade, ensuring that they keep their sun hats on, making sure that they drink plenty of water (and checking that water bottles are refilled), lots of craft activities and using the hose in the garden to cool the children (if they wanted to).  

Stories we are enjoying this week: 
'We're going on a Bear Hunt' by Michael Rosen and illustrated by Helen Oxenbury in the two year room.   We made this into a sensory story, which the children loved.
 
'Stardust' by Jeanne Willis and Briony May Smith in the three/four year room (AM story)  This is book twenty from the NELI programme, which is the last book of the programme. This is a research based reading programme to support children's oral language development.  

A variety of books have been read, chosen by the children, in the three/four year room (PM story)  

Just for fun:  Why not find somewhere cool to sit and read some books with your child.  What is their favourite book?  

Please return photo proofs even if you do not want to purchase any photos by MONDAY 29 JUNE.  Thank you.  

Have a good week
Plough Green  😁
