aistear - aT THE DOCTORS

10/25/2017

This month the theme for Aistear is 'The Doctor's Surgery'. We focused on four different areas for this theme- construction, socio-dramatic area, water play and fine-motor skills.

In the construction area the boys were kept busy making beds for the patients, building a hospital, making a road to the hospital and even making a helipad for a helicopter in case of emergencies.

The boys at the water table were busy washing different body parts belonging to Mr Potato Head and picking them out of the water with tweezers.

The fine motor table had the tough job of putting a face back together again.

The Doctor and receptionist were kept very busy with all the patients waiting to see them in the Doctor's surgery.

When Pirate Pete heard we were having a pizza party he sent a special delivery to our class.

In it was a letter with tasks we had to do before we could have the party

The first thing we had to do was to read his favourite story 'The Night Pirates'.

Task 2 was to colour a picture of Pirate Pete!

Our last task was to work together as a team to go through an obstacle course and carry our treasure back to the classroom.

Each boy gets to bring home the special box for a night which he fills with all his special things likes his favourite toys, teddy bears,books and photos of his family. The next day he brings it back and shows his special things to the class. Each table gets turn to look at these objects and picks which thing he likes best.
