Plough Green Pre-school
Dear Parents and Carers,
I hope that you have had a good week. The children in the older room have really enjoyed playing with the cars and trucks, which presented lots of great learning opportunities. The younger children particularly enjoyed the malleable and tactile area which had pasta sheets and teapots in. The children wanted the pasta to fit into the teapots, they soon realised that they had to break it into pieces to fit it inside. This was a great way for the children to learn some early maths.
🐍 We wish a Happy 'Lunar New Year' to our families who are celebrating the year of the Snake 🐍
Stories we are enjoying this week:
'Dear Zoo' by Rod Campbell in the two year room. We used a story sack with this book.
'Daisy and the Moon' by Jane Simmons in the three/four-year room (AM story)
'Whatever Next!' by Jill Murphy in the three/four-year room (PM story)
Just for Fun: When your child is in the bath why not let them play with some containers e.g empty clean plastic bottles, plastic cups, plastic jugs. You can talk about filling and emptying them, are they half full, full or empty? This introduces early maths language and concepts. PLEASE SUPERVISE YOUR CHILD WHEN THEY ARE IN AND AROUND WATER AT ALL TIMES.
Dates for your diary:
Sponsored Brick Build: Week commencing Monday 10 February 2025 - A letter will be coming home soon.

Have a lovely week
Plough Green 😀
