This week’s theme: Spring
This week we are learning all about the season of Spring. Here are some ideas to help further your child’s learning at home:
- Chat to your child about Spring.
- Look at Spring flowers when walking together. Ask your child to name the flowers. (daffodils, snowdrops, tulips)
- Point out lambs if you see them on The Curragh.
- Look out for birds’ nests in the trees and listen to the birds singing.
- Talk about the weather.
- Look out for leaves, flowers and animals that are growing.

Aistear Theme- Restaurants and Food
Our new theme this month was food. The boys and girls were pretending to be chefs, waiters, waitresses and customers in our lovely restaurant. They were building tables and chairs in the construction area, and making yummy things to eat and drink in the art, play doh and water area.
It was lots of fun, but made our tummies grumble!

This week’s theme: My Family
Baraa drew this lovely picture of his family.
This week the children are learning all about families. They are learning the words to describe their family members.
To help at home you could:
Talk about your family together. Help your child to answer the following questions:
- How many people are in our family?
- How many brothers do you have?I have … brothers. / I don’t have any brothers.
- How many sisters do you have? I have … sisters. / I don’t have any sisters.
Talk about your child’s extended family – grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins.
Look at family photographs and name the different family members. eg. ‘He is my cousin.’ ‘She is my aunt.’
