Primary Focus
Aims of the Series
 
Primary Focus is a television series for 9 - 11 year olds in Northern Ireland. It aims to develop children's interest in various aspects of life in Northern Ireland past and present, and, by encouraging an investigative approach inside and outside the classroom, help develop a range of key skills.
