Aistear in Junior Infants

Every morning in junior infants the children take part in Aistear. Aistear is a framework for play where we have a different theme every few weeks for the children to focus their play on. There are five areas of play and the children, in groups, play at one area each day. So far this year some of our themes have been the restaurant, school, the mechanics, the vets and the farm!

3rd Class Wormery

Science

Strand: Living Things

Strand Unit: Plants and Animals

The children in 3rd class had great fun making two class wormeries.  We collected lots of worms and made a lovely comfortable home for them by using layers of soil, sand, compost and leaves.  We will observe these over the next week or so to look at changes to the soil and the activity within the wormery.
