Senior Infants is the second year of primary school. Children in Senior Infants are typically aged between 5 and 6 years old. Like Junior Infants, the school day is shorter than that of the senior classes, usually running from 8:15 – 12.55pm
Children follow the twelve curriculum subjects, with the inclusion of Aistear, an integrated learning programme based on learning through play. Each month, they explore a specific theme, which is woven into the various subject areas in a cross-curricular approach.
The three core subjects — English, Irish, and Mathematics — are taught every day to support essential skill development.
For more information on the curriculum and ways you can support your child’s learning at home, please refer to the guidance provided by the NCCA (National Council for Curriculum and Assessment). https://ncca.ie/en/primary/
