Plough Green Pre-school

Dear Parents and Carers,

I hope that you have had a good week.  The younger children have enjoyed ball play, learning to release the ball by throwing them, sometimes towards a target.  The older children have been enjoying the rain, jumping in the puddles, so we have been talking about wearing suitable clothing to keep us warm and dry.  

Stories we are enjoying this week:  
'Owl Babies' by Martin Waddell in the two year room.   We use a story sack with this story.  
'Pantosaurus and the Power of Pants' by Rebecca Gerlings and Fhiona Galloway in the three/four year room NSPCC (AM story) We use this story each term as a conversation starter for talking to the children about keeping themselves safe from sexual abuse in an age appropriate way.  
'Pants' by Giles Andrede and Nick Sharratt in the three/four year room (PM story)  

Just for fun:   Why not go for an autumnal walk with your child.  Along the way you could collect fallen leaves for arts and crafts activities at home.  You could reinforce what you have talked about previously, explaining why the leaves fall off in the Autumn... You could also visit the library and look for stories about Autumn.  The Leaf Thief by Alice Hemming is a good book.  It would be great to see some pictures on Tapestry sharing with us what you have done in half-term...

We hope that you have a lovely half-term break (two weeks) and we look forward to seeing you when we return week commencing Monday 02 November 2026.
