The Aistear theme in Senior Infants for the month of October was the farm shop!
The Aistear theme for the month of October is the farm shop! The children really loved this theme and really engaged with the stations very well. Stations included:
Once Aistear was over each day the children were then allowed to report about what they did, what they created and what they read about in their stations using the hand held microphone. The children love using the microphone to tell everyone what they have done! Also a big THANK YOU to all the parents who sent in the farming resources for the children to use for the month of October! It goes without saying that this wouldn’t have been such a successful theme only for the toys & books & resources sent in! Have a look at the great photos of the children having a wonderful time in the Farm Shop!
