Aistear (SESE)
Our next Aistear topic is The Garden, we are looking at plants, birds and minibeasts. If you have the chance, please go out into the garden and investigate everything you can! Turn over stones and see what lurks beneath! Take a magnifying glass out and study the buds and new flowers. If you do, please fill in the learning diary sheet that is in the resources section. You might even try and spot some birds from the window!
If you are able to, please have a go at completing the bird and mini-beast fact file sheets and then, if possible, please try and build a bird feeder and a bug hotel. There is a sheet for you to write some instructions for someone else to have a go too! The videos we’ve linked below might help you find out some information too.

- Do you have a green bin at your house, if so, what can go in it?
- Why do you think some things can be recycled and others can’t?
- How could we make more things recyclable?
- How do you think we could reduce our waste?
- What would you say if you met the Taoiseach, to convince them to recycle more?
