A course for every class
Junior and Senior Infants have two 45-minute lessons a week, 1st and 2nd Class three. From 3rd Class, the History course and the Geography course each have 36 one-hour lessons, one a week. Open a course to see its lessons, module by module.
Pupils work as historians and geographers.
You teach from the board, which carries the source, the map and the class's own findings. Pupils ask what a source shows and what it cannot tell them, mark what they find on a map or a timeline, and go outside to see it for themselves. The courses start in your own area, so a city school and a country school each work from their own streets, fields and history.
What pupils do across the year
photographs, census pages, maps and old accounts, asking what each one can and cannot tell us
your school's own map on the board, with what the class finds marked on it
walks, surveys and visits around the school, with a plan for a wet day
dated things the class meets, placed in order on a timeline on the board

Built to the NCCA Primary Social and Environmental Education specification
The Social and Environmental Education specification was published in 2025 as part of the Primary Curriculum Framework. It sets no topics, so every lesson here is built around a named learning outcome for its class. Each course starts from your pupils' own area and works outward, to the island of Ireland and then to Europe and the wider world.
