During the year we took part in Aistear. Aistear is the curriculum framework for children from birth to 6 years which aims to provide enjoyable and challenging learning experiences for children which will enable them to grow and develop as competent and confident learners. Aistear describes the types of learning (dispositions, values and attitudes, skills, knowledge, and understanding) that are important for children in their early years, and offers ideas and suggestions as to how this learning might be nurtured.
Aistear: the Early Childhood Curriculum Framework presents children’s learning and development using four themes. These are:
- Well-being
- Identity and Belonging
- Communicating
- Exploring and Thinking
During Aistear play is prioritised as a medium for learning and this year some of the play themes we took part in were
- The Doctor’s Surgery
- Santa’s Workshop
- The Veterinary Surgery
Take a look at our photos.
