We enjoyed our recent Aistear topic – the opticians. During role play we made appointments, tested our eyes using charts, tried on and selected glasses and paid for them. We also watched a video about going to the opticians, looked at how our eyes react to light, made glasses and discussed looking after our eyes.
We’ve been very busy making decorations, singing in the church, playing in our Christmas area and getting VERY exited about Christmas.
We got the most line points over the last two weeks; as a treat we played on the space hoppers and scooters.
Here are some examples of the work we have done as part of our Aistear topic on Africa.
We enjoyed using our drumming skills this morning. We were a great drumming band.
On Friday our buddies from 6th class worked with us. They helped us make giraffes and we talked about the different body parts and the colours we used.
We’ve enjoyed different activities as part of our Aistear topic on Africa. We’ve been on safari – buying tickets, checking the map and spotting various animals with our binoculars in the jeep and checking them off on our list. We’ve also used different materials to create our own savannahs for African animals.
On Friday we enjoyed playing different games in class. We are learning to play independently, take turns, follow the rules, play fairly and win and lose graciously.
On the last day of the half term we dressed up in our Halloween costumes. We enjoyed showing our costumes off to each other.
Aistear is going well in Junior Infants. At the moment our role play area is the home corner so we are very busy minding babies, cooking, ironing, hovering, washing clothes and setting the table. We are also involved in junk art, construction and small world play.
