Vets and Pets – Room 1

The children participated in various stations during Aistear with a focus on the theme “The Vet”. At the role play station we had vets, a receptionist and animals owners with some very unwell pets! At the construction station we used blocks to create homes for the animals. At the fine motor station we enjoyed using farm animal stencils. We played an animal memory game. At the art station each child made a paper plate pet and we did some spring and Easter themed art.

An African Market in room 1

In our Over the Moon book we learned all about Ella’s trip to Africa to visit her granny. During aistear, we recreated an African market and were busy at the stall selling fruit and vegetables. We also threaded shapes to make tribal jewellery for sale! We made fruit and vegetable jigsaws. At the fine motor station we used playdoh to make different fruits and vegetables. We played a fruit and vegetable shopping game. At the art station we enjoyed printing different fruits.

For art this month we also made penguins and polar bears.

The Doctor’s Surgery in Room 1

For our aistear theme the doctor’s surgery we explored the theme at different stations. At the role play station we were busy being doctors, nurses, the receptionist and some very sick patients! At the fine motor station we used playdoh to complete doctor themed pictures. We performed operations using the games “Operation”. Our art work was also based on the theme – we made stethoscopes, x-rays, a doctor’s coat and we performed an operation on Humpty Dumpty and managed to put him together again!!
