Aistear

Picture
Aistear is the early childhood curriculum framework for all children from birth to six years. The word Aistear is the Irish word for journey and was chosen because early childhood marks the beginning of children’s lifelong learning journeys. 

Aistear is the key learning and teaching tool used to implement the primary school curriculum in infant classes in Scoil Naomh Abbáin. During Aistear time each day the children focus on their theme of the fortnight, with an emphasis on active learning and oral language development. Curriculum subjects covered during Aistear include: S.E.S.E., S.P.H.E., oral language, reading, writing, maths, art, music and drama.

During Aistear, the children are implementing their numeracy and literacy skills in a more meaningful way through the use of role play, games and real-life situations. You can keep up to date with our Aistear themes and learning each fortnight by following our Twitter Page.
