    This document provides information on the development of children ages 7-9. It notes that children at this age are beginning to become more logical and analytical, able to see patterns and aware of language. They enjoy opportunities to experiment and express themselves freely. While reading and writing skills are still developing in their first language, they ask many questions and need guidance from teachers. Children at this age also enjoy group activities but still need chances to work alone as they develop confidence in expressing their views and opinions. Their knowledge of the world is growing beyond what adults often realize.

    Chants

    Children at this age group still love chants, but can add their own verses too. This stimulates their
    creative skills and gives them a sense of achievement when they can produce their own (see Five little
    speckled frogs song in related pages below).

    World knowledge

    The quiz at the bottom of the page requires not just linguistic knowledge, but also knowledge about
    animals.

    Wall displays

    By now many children are developing their writing skills and becoming proficient drawers. They also
    get a great sense of achievement from seeing what they have created.

    A mini-project on animals is easy to set up. Each child chooses an animal they like. They draw a
    picture of the animal and write sentences based on a model* provided by the teacher. The pictures are
    neatly mounted on the classroom walls. Invite parents in too to see these lovely displays.

    model:

     …………… is a big/small animal


     …………… lives in the jungle / on a farm / in my house
     ………….. eats leaves / other animals/ …………..
     ………….. can fly / run / swim etc etc

    Fun

    Games are popular with all ages and it is a shame to push children into formal book-based learning
    early. They will become de-motivated and maybe even stressed. A really fun game can wake them up
    and bring laughter back into the classroom.

    In this game My animal's got....(see related pages below) children create funny composite animals e.g.
    one with a tiger’s head, a bear’s tummy and an elephant’s legs.

    This fun game works on many levels. Children can enjoy it purely visually and can also practise their
    English through it. It is very good for the possessive ‘ s.
