What a fantastic week! After all our hard work I think you'll agree we provided all the moms and dads with a great performance on Thursday. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed our moment on stage! And a BIG thank you to for dressing them so wonderfully... they really looked every bit the part! 
If anyone has any video or photos, if you wouldn't mind sharing them with me that would be great. I will collect them and put together a little video of the day for your enjoyment.

As we spent a lot of this week rehearsing, this week's blog will be short and sweet! Our Christmas theme is continuing to provide the children with endless fun and excitement. This week we have been focusing on pre planning our Aistear time. Before each play session we discuss all the play areas that are available to us and what kind of language we might use there and how we might role play. Each child has their own Aistear copy where we plan for 10/15 minutes (through drawing) before heading off to play.
During the children’s play I get a chance to sit with each child individually and discuss their plan and record their words and sentences on their drawing. What we discuss might include topical language, colours, shapes, sentence structure etc. It's a great chance to spend a few minutes with each child on their own.

Another week of great homework! Well done everyone... Look at this wonderful homemade maraca which one of the boys made after being inspired by his homework reader! What a clever boy. FANTASTIC. Enjoy our little rendition of this week's homework poem.

I hope all the girls and boys have a well deserved rest this weekend. I am really looking forward to next week. It will be a lovely fun week in the lead up to the holidays.

Happy Weekend,
