Doctors in the Junior Room

3rd Oct 2025

The junior and senior infants have embraced the role of doctors, nurses, and patients this week. This playful approach is a fun and engaging way to access the curriculum while also developing their skills in areas such as: 

Communication: Talking to 'patients' about their 'symptoms,' giving 'instructions,' and working collaboratively as a 'team.'
Empathy and Well-being: Understanding how doctors help people and the importance of caring for others when they are sick or hurt.
Social Skills: Taking turns, negotiating roles, and cooperating during play scenarios.
