At Greenfields, our curriculum supports Siolta & Aistear:  Siolta & Aistear

• 9:00   Greeting Time – the child is met at the door by one of our practitioners.  The child puts away their break in the fridge and hangs up their own coat.
• 9:10   Newstime – the children sit on their own cushions and each child tells their news.  Also at this time we discuss colours, shapes, numbers, letters, days of the week etc.
• 9:20   The child sits at the table in their group and decides what areas they would like to play in for Work Time.
• 9:30   This is where the child carries out their Planned Activity. It also allows them the opportunity to mix with other children and problem solving.
• 10:15 Tidy up time
• 10:25 Review Time.  The child sits in their group at the table and talks about what they did and how they did it.
