Austria class have been getting to grips with a new play programme over the past couple of months. We have now moved our Aistear time to 11 o clock so that we have more time for play planning and our play review. Aistear allows children to learn through play and incorporates integrated learning. This means that the children can experience subjects such as Maths, English, Art, Drama and SESE through play. Here are some photos of us enjoying Aistear in our classroom.
