Celebrating 10 years of the Primary School Curriculum (1999)
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Primary School Curriculum (1999). Ten years on from the launch of the curriculum we've learned a few things. Among them we've learned that our children like learning and that they are happy in schools. In our reviews of the Primary School Curriculum, teachers reported that children's enjoyment of learning was one of their greatest curriculum successes. Fostering the happiness of childhood, a time of excitement and discovery, is something of which we can and should be proud. So, for the tenth birthday of the curriculum we invited schools to share some of their successes with us. We invited them to contribute captioned photos and school stories of the curriculum in action. We received hundreds of inspirational images and some great stories that provide a snapshot of how children's learning is taking place in primary classrooms throughout the country.
Another thing that we have learned is that, despite the most difficult of circumstances and the prospect of a tough year ahead, schools and teachers continue to make tremendous efforts to breathe life into the pages of the Primary School Curriculum.
