JI Aistear - Camping with Mr. Kelly

Aistear: Camping

This month in Aistear we are focusing on the theme of : Camping.

Here is a list of the vocabulary that we would be focusing on in class: tent, camping camping chair, tent peg, fire, logs, saucepan, rucksack, sleeping bag, picnic table, roll mat, compass and torch.  

• Can you hear Mr. Kelly list all the new words in his camping video?
• What task did Mr. Kelly have for you at the end of the video? Draw a picture of each thing you would bring camping from home and tell mammy and daddy about why you would bring each of them.
• Can you make a campsite using some of your toys at home? What other things can you find around your home for your campsite and why would you use them? Ask your children to tell you why they are using different figures in their campsite and see can they use their new vocabulary when playing or camping in the back garden.

• Can you make a log fire with your hand prints and paint? Use a twig and some cotton balls to make some marshmallows roasting over the fire. https://www.pinterest.ie/pin/43276846396784484/?nic_v1=1aX3d%2B2oeD01Dn8oks%2BsDbeJEjT1HW9aXefVoYLt%2BHuxz8E1NuaWZHxoXbPHcPo44R
