Tús an tEarrach
Cé nach mothaíonn sé cosúil leis an tEarrach an tseachtain seo ag féachaint amach an fhuinneog ar an aimsir, thógamar an deis an seachtain seo chun labhairt faoi ár mhí nua, Feabhra, agus séasúr nua an tEarrach.
Le linn am ciorcail, labhair muid agus chanamar faoi laethanta na seachtaine, míonna na bhliana, na séasúir agus an aimsir.
Thaitin amhráin ar nós Iora rua, roly poly, ceann, guaillí, glúine agus cosa leis na páistí freisin.
Rinneamar bord súgartha praiseach déanta as páipéar crepe, pompoms, féileacáin agus eilimintí bláthanna a fhaightear le linn shéasúr an tEarrach.
Maidir lenár n-ealaín an tseachtain seo, bhíomar ag ullmhú do cheiliúradh Lá Vailintín an tseachtain seo chugainn ag déanamh priontaí láimhe, ag gearradh croíthe amach agus ag péinteáil plátaí páipéir.
Phéinteáil muid pictiúr d'aimsir an Earraigh freisin agus roghnaigh cuid de na páistí an ghrian a phéinteáil, cuid eile bogha ceatha agus cuid eile báisteach.
An tseachtain seo, bhain na páistí an-taitneamh as gach orlach den seomra le spraoi, ó bheith ag imirt leis na gluaisteáin, na dineasáir, cúinne baile, na bábóga, míreanna meara a dhéanamh, dathú agus dathu.
Táimid ag tnúth go mór leis an tseachtain seo chugainn nuair a cheiliúraimid an grá agus ag tnúth go mór lenár gcóisir Lá Vailintín.
Ná déanaigí dearmad go dtugaimid cuireadh do gach páiste atá sa Naíonra freastal ar an tseirbhís gléasta suas i mbándearg, bán nó dearg.
Ach níl aon gá téigh chuig aon costas mór air.
Bíodh deireadh seachtaine iontach agaibh agus táimid ag tnúth le aimsir níos fearr an tseachtain seo chugainn.
Spring has begun
Although Spring is not in the air this week going by the weather outside we took this opportunity to speak a new month February and new season Spring.
During circle time we spoke and sang about the days of the week, months of the year, seasons and the weather.
The children loved also singing songs like Iora rua, roly poly, head shoulders knees and toes.
We explored the messy play table of crepe paper, Pom poms, butterflies and flowers elements which can be found during the season of Spring.
For our art this week we were getting prepared for the celebration of Valentines Day next week making handprints, cutting out hearts and painting paper plates.
We also painted a picture of Spring weather with some children opting to paint the sun other painted a rainbow and some painted rain.
This week the children loved exploring every inch of the room from playing with the cars, dinosaurs, home corner, dolls to making puzzles, colouring and drawing.
We are really looking forward to next week when we celebrate love and can’t wait for our Valentines party.
Don’t forget we are inviting all attending the service for Naíonra to dress up in pink, white or red. But remember don’t go to any expense shop from home.
Have a wonderful weekend and we look forward to seeing you for brighter Spring weather next week.
