Aistear is play-based learning that provides enjoyable and challenging learning experiences, enabling children to grow and develop as competent and confident learners. Aistear sessions provide children with the ability to communicate together in a fun and relaxed environment while learning and building on new vocabulary. In our class we choose four different stations for the month and the children engage with a different station weekly.
In November, our Aistear sessions for the month are based around the theme of 'Homes'. We are learning about all of the different homes that people live in; apartments, flats, bungalows, terraced houses, semi-detached houses, detached houses, caravans and thatched houses to name a few. We have set up our own home corner in the role-play area and practiced using all of the vocabulary to do with the kitchen! We are busy designing our own 'dream homes' at the 'cutting and sticking' station. We are constructing our own homes using lego and architecture blocks. We are also busy on the building site building our own homes using the Aistear wooden blocks. We really are a very creative bunch!
