AISTEAR: Learning to play while playing to learn
Junior infants have one hour every day where the children learn through play. We have five play stations and we divide the children into five groups. The children plan their play for ten minutes, play for forty minutes and review their play for another ten minutes.
Play gives children the chance to experiment and practice what they are learning in a safe space. Our first Aistear theme will be the medical centre.

Until one day,
(have your child wiggle their open hand)
The pod went POP!
