J Alsop President CHELFORD VILLAGE PRE-SCHOOL November 2006 A warm welcome to Owen and Jack who have recently enrolled at the pre-school. Last half terms theme “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” proved very popular with all the children. Some of the older children amazed us with their ability to recall the narrative and their confidence to act out the story. Our younger children enjoyed using their imaginations and using their bodies to curl up like eggs, wriggle like caterpillars, pop out of cocoons and dance like a butterflies. The highlight of the half term was when the “Bugman” came to visit us. He entertained and fascinated the children throughout the morning with his special blue box of amazing creatures which included giant stick insects, 10 inch millipedes, scorpions, giant snails and huge hairy spiders. As the beginning of this half term coincides with National Road Safety Week we have decided to have “Stop, Look and Listen” as our theme focusing on road safety. We have lots of activities planned to fire the children’s imagination and have also arranged to borrow role play items which will reinforce the children’s learning such as a zebra crossing, traffic lights, lollypop lady/man outfit, road signs and various other items. As always the last three weeks of the half term will be devoted to Christmas activities and many rehearsals for the nativity play. The staff will be updating their training by attending several courses including “Birth to 3 Matters,” First Aid, “An Introduction to High/Scope learning.” and a manager’s meeting devoted to “Key issues affecting the childcare sector” For more information & a link to the full OFSTED Report please visit our website: www.chelfordpreschool.org.uk
7 PARISH POST Supervisor/ Admissions Jane Eastaugh Telephone: 01625 860 902 I have a dream I have a dream, A farmer’s dream, I dream that one day, We farmers shall all get an equal pay, The price of milk won’t be unfair It will be the same price everywhere. I have a dream, A farmer’s dream, I dream that awful paper work will be halved, That inspectors shall be no more, We don’t need them; we are not breaking the law, All we want to do is farm and do what we are here for. I have a dream, A farmer’s dream, I dream one day the weather will work our way, You need a good hot day to make sweet smelling hay, Rain at night and sunshine all day, Will make life easier for us all the way. I have a dream, A farmer’s dream, I dream that dreaded TB will not exist, The life of cows and wildlife will persist, Badgers and birds will not bring fear, The end of slaughtering and all the tears. Kathryn Tipping Kathryn, grand-daughter of Mrs Beryl Bailey, recited her poem as part of our Harvest Festival Service last month. Remembering Why do you march old man, with medals on your chest? Why do you grieve old man, for those friends you laid to rest? Why do your eyes still gleam old man, when you hear the bugles blow? Tell me, why do you cry old man for those days so long ago? I’ll tell you why I march with medals on my chest, I’ll tell you why I grieve young man for those I laid to rest. Through misty fields of gossamer silk come visions of distant times, When the boys of tender age marched forth to distant lines. We buried them in a blanket shroud, their young flesh scorched and blackened, A communal grave, newly gouged in bloodstained gorse and bracken. And you ask me why I march young man – I march to remind you all. That but for those apple-blossomed youths, you’d never have known freedom at all.
