Junior Infants Room 2: Sequencing Stories

Story takes up a large portion of the history curriculum for junior infants. The children are provided with opportunities to improve their understanding of time and chronology by reading, retelling and ordering parts of stories. Over the last month, the children in room 2 have been reading The Little Red Hen. They have engaged with the book so many times, that they are now able to sequence parts of the story. This week, they will be doing this as one of their play stations during aistear. Each child is given a page of mixed up pictures from the story. The children must colour, cut, and stick the pictures back down in the correct order on long strips of purple paper. Have a look at this in action...
