Aistear in April

This month we have been reading lots of Fairy Tales and this has led to our theme for Aistear. The children have been building castles from blocks and drawing beanstalks that disappear into cotton wool clouds at the art table. The role play corner has featured king and queen thrones, has turned into the three bears cottage and I have also spotted a big bad wolf in there. Our small world area has a castle and lots of finger puppets to make your own fairytale and we also explored the story of the Little Red Hen through music and with puppets. We will continue this until the end of the month so check back for more photos of the fun.
