At Home in Aistear!

The children were learning all about the 'Home' in Aistear over the last two weeks. They talked about themselves, their families, their homes and met our new Aistear friend, Beebot! The Beebot is a 'coding robot' that can be used in a huge amount of ways to teach many topics and already the children are having great fun with it, while learning a vast amount of vocabulary linked to each topic.

They also built their dream home, made family members and houses out of playdoh, painted their 'hidden names' and played with small houses and toys from the home.

Take a look at what some of the children got up to 'At Home'!
