In First and Second Class, children build on the skills learned in the Infant classroom. 

Some of the skills that children in this classroom would typically learn are:

-to become a more independent reader and learner

- to further develop a sense of responsibility for their actions and how to respect and relate to others

- managing and understanding feelings

- PE strands are also expanded in this room

- Children are afforded the opportunity to attend swimming lessons in a nearby swimming pool and undertake hurling training with   an external coach.

Two mornings per week, the children engage in play using concrete objects such as Mechano sets, blocks, links, Play-Doh, Pegboards etc to develop oral language skills, cooperation and fine motor skills further through imaginative play.
