"Get to know me" and "My Family".
As the children settled into preschool we started with the theme of "Get to Know Me". The children coloured placemats for lunchtime with their pictures and favourite characters , painted birthday hats and crowns to display on the noticeboard, created handprints and footprints, discussed their favourite colours, toys, foods, likes/dislikes etc and got to know all their new friends and peers.
**When children feel a sense of belonging and sense of pride in their families, their peers, and their communities, they can be emotionally strong, self-assured, and able to deal with challenges and difficulties. This creates an important foundation for their learning and development** - Aistear
