Ár gcéad seachtain ar ais
Tá na páistí ag socrú síos sa Naíonra agus táimid ag cruthú ár lá féin.
An tseachtain seo, chun tuilleadh eolais a fháil faoi gach páiste, táimid ag foghlaim fúinn féin.
Thógamar an deis i ngrúpaí beaga chun labhairt fúinn féin agus le linn am ciorcail labhair muid faoinár dtréithe fisiciúla, ár dtaitneamh, ár míthaitneamh agus ár riachtanais. Thaitin amhráin leis na páistí a chanadh chomh maith.
Chruthaíomar balla ár dteaghlaigh agus gach lá thaitin le na páistí a chlann a fheicéail. D'fhoghlaimíomar an oiread sin faoi theaghlaigh na bpáistí freisin.
Sa bhord súgartha praiseach, d'úsáid na páistí páirteanna scaoilte cosúil le cnaipí, ribíní, olann chun a n-aghaidheanna féin a chruthú. Maidir le healaíona agus ceardaíocht, bhain gach páiste sult as a bhféinphortráid féin a dhéanamh ag baint úsáide as scátháin agus bataí péinte.
Tá muid ag tnúth lenár láimhe a chur suas ar an mballa sa seomra freisin. De réir mar a chuaigh an ghníomhaíocht ar aghaidh, d'aithin na páistí a ndifríochtaí aonair.
Rinneamar taos súgartha agus chruthaigh na páistí iad féin ag baint úsáide as gearrthóir taos súgartha.
I rith na seachtaine, bhain muid gach seans as spraoi lasmuigh ag dul ag siúlóidí dúlra, ag imirt sa chúirt cispheile, ag rothaíocht na rothair agus thaitin sé go mór leis na páistí marcanna a dhéanamh ar na cláir dhubha le cailc lasmuigh.
Bhí ceol agus gluaiseacht ina ngnéithe lárnacha dár seachtain freisin, agus bhain na páistí an-taitneamh as damhsa agus canadh le seánraí éagsúla ceoil.
Bhí seachtain iontach againn agus ní féidir linn fanacht le foghlaim níos mó faoinár dteaghlaigh an tseachtain seo chugainn.
Our First full Week
The children are settling into Naíonra and we are creating our own routines.
This week to further learn about each child individually we are learning about ourselves. We took an opportunity during small groups to talk about ourselves and during circle time we spoke about our physical attributes, our likes, dislikes and needs. The children loved singing songs too.
We created our family wall and each day the children loved looking at their pictures. We learned so much about the children’s families too.
In the messy play table the children used loose parts such as buttons, ribbons, wool to create their own faces. For arts and crafts each child enjoyed making their own self portrait using mirrors and paint sticks. We can’t wait to put our handprints up on the wall in the room too. As the activity went on the children identified their individual differences.
We made playdough and the children created themselves using play dough cutter. Throughout the week we took advantage of the outdoor area going for nature walks, playing in the basketball court, cycling the bikes and the children loved mark making on the black boards with chalk outside.
Music and movement was also a key feature of our week the children loved dancing and singing to different genres of music. We had a wonderful week and cannot wait to learn more about our families next week.
