Aistear:
(March 2017)
We are busy bees with Aistear and we link all
our lessons to the theme for the week. The theme for March is “People who help
us”.
Week 1: Garda Station
Week 2: Fire Officer
Week 3: Optician
Week 4: Dentist
We welcomed Garda Darragh into
our classroom so the children could see the uniform and ask lots of questions.
It is invaluable for the children to see and hear all about the Gardaí. We got
to hold a bat, handcuffs, pepper spray and Garda Darragh even used the walkie-
talkie back to the station in Wicklow. We said hello to the Garda in the station. The children learned the importance of
not lying and telling the truth. A big thank you to our visitor for providing
the children with this great experience.

In conjunction with our discussion about “People who
help us” – we welcomed the Rathdrum fire crew to our school so the children
could see the fire engine and all of their life saving equipment. It was great
for the children of the Infants and Junior Room to see the fire officers and
learn from them in person. It was so exciting to try on their helmets and
gloves. We even got to use the hose with Fireman Dave. They have huge cutters
used to cut cars open when somebody is stuck inside. When they left, they put
on the siren. I think we will have a future fire officer in our class. A massive thank you to the Rathdrum Fire Service for a thrilling morning that
we will never forget.
