Aistear
This year we are very lucky to have a room just for our Aistear activities.
April - May
We looked at teeth and healthy eating in class. Our Aistear room reflects this! It is set up as a Dental Surgery (/People Who Help Us). We're having great fun engaging in Aistear this month, especially using our imaginations in the socio-dramatic area!
February - March
Our Aistear room has now become a farm!! There's lots for us to do!!
Some of the vocabulary which we are trying to focus on and use can be seen below.
January
Exciting news.....we have a second Aistear room, just for Senior Infants!!
It is set up for our theme of 'Winter / Polar Regions'. There is lots for us to do - build igloos, make Arctic animals, paint Winter scenes, go fishing.....and lots more!!

December
For the month of December, our Aistear room was turned into 'Santa's Workshop'. We had a brilliant time, all working away as busy as can be!!
November
Our theme for Aistear this month is 'Houses and Homes'. We have done lots of work on this theme so far...perhaps there is a future architect hidden in our class group!!
Our school got us some amazing magnets to use in our construction area. They are fantastic!! We have all had a chance to make some brilliant structures!!

October
The Aistear room has been changed for the month of October. It is now a 'Witches Kitchen'!
It's very spooky and we've really enjoyed our visits to it so far!
We are focusing on using language around the theme of Halloween....

September
For the month of September our theme was 'The Airport'.
We had great fun creating airplanes at the junk art station. At the small world area we imagined different scenarios which might happen at an airport. In the construction area many of us built airports and places. While in the socio-dramatic area we had great fun dressing as pilots, security guards, passengers! For most of us, this was our favourite area as it allowed us to use our imaginations the most!!
