Junior Infants have begun Aistear this year. Aistear (2009) is the curriculum framework for all children in Ireland from birth to six years. It describes the types of learning that are important for children at this stage in their lives. Aistear is a guide for planning exciting, engaging and fun learning experiences and activities for children in daycare and sessional services, in infant classes in primary schools and in childminding settings. It also offers lots of practical ideas to parents for how they can help their children learn through everyday activities and routines. For more information go to http://www.ncca.ie/en/Curriculum_and_Assessment/Parents/Early_Childhood/.
Junior Infants will learn and play through themes. So far the children have learned all about The Gingerbread Man. Look at the pictures belowto see Aistear in action.
